    not required unless the individual is required to exit Peru
    via commercial or military air.  If an official visitor is a
    Peruvian National serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, a valid
    Peruvian (maroon) passport is absolutely necessary in all
    cases in order for the individual to enter or exit Peru.
    Proof of residency in the U.S. (green card) is required for
    return to the U.S.  All visas for onward travel should be
    obtained prior to arrival in Peru.

    ¶4.  (SBU) SECURITY:

    Post reminds all TDY personnel requesting country clearance
    for temporary duty of 30 days or more of the requirement to
    complete mandatory personal security training effective
    January 1, 2005.  Personnel requesting country clearance for
    periods of 30 days or more must certify that they have or
    will complete the required training prior to their travel, or
    may request a waiver as per the above policy.  For extended
    TDY requests, individual bureaus (not the Bureau of Human
    Resources) are responsible for ensuring that their staff, in
    all employment categories (Civil Service, Foreign Service,
    WAE, PSC, etc.), meets the training requirement.  See 04
    State 66580 for more information about the mandatory personal
    security training requirement.

    Country clearance is granted for travel to non-Embassy
    restricted areas only.  Visitors who plan to travel to
    Embassy restricted areas must request Post approval upon
    arrival.  A list of these areas can be obtained from the RSO.
     It is imperative that the Mission be notified immediately of
    delays or changes in plans or itinerary.  Personnel must not
    change hotels without first notifying control officer.  The
    State Department has designated Peru as high threat for
    indigenous terrorism, medium threat for transnational
    terrorism and political violence, and critical threat for
    crime.  Two terrorist groups operate in Peru:  Sendero
    Luminoso (SL) and Movimiento Revolucionario Tupac Amaru
    (MRTA).  Both organizations continue to be potential threats
    and have targeted U.S. facilities in the past.  Due to GOP
    efforts, the activities of the SL and MRTA have been greatly
    reduced and are now largely confined to rural areas.
    Overland travel outside of Lima and other large cities during
    the hours of darkness is prohibited due to unsafe road
    conditions and the threat of armed criminals.  Terrorist
    groups operate with relative impunity in some interior areas
    and are known to target vehicular traffic.  Crime is a
    serious problem in metropolitan Lima and popular tourist
    areas such as Arequipa, Cuzco, and Machu Picchu.  Most crimes
    involve petty theft, pickpocketing, bag slashing,
    grab-and-run, and theft from occupied and unoccupied
    vehicles.  More violent crimes include armed robbery,
    carjacking, and choke-and-rob.  Criminals frequently react
    violently when resistance is encountered.  In almost all
    instances it is advisable not to offer resistance.  Most
    areas of downtown Lima are dangerous and should be avoided
    during the hours of darkness.  Visitors are cautioned to
    remain alert to their surroundings at all times, particularly
    when in crowded areas, such as on public transportation, at
    outdoor markets, and at tourist sites.  Countermeasures
    against crime also protect against terrorism.  Special care
    should be exercised at the Jorge Chavez International Airport
    in Callao.  Criminals frequent this area, especially at
    night, and are known to target foreigners both inside and
    outside the terminal.

    Security briefings are mandatory for all official visitors to
    Peru.  Briefings are given in the RSO Conference Room at the
    Embassy, on Wednesdays, promptly at 9:00 a.m.

    ¶5.  (U) ICASS TDY Policy and Action Request:

    Each visitor, regardless of length of stay, must
    bring/forward fiscal data to pay for direct costs of the
    visit.  Each agency, organization, or visiting delegation
    will be charged for the actual costs attributed to their
    visit.  Direct charge costs include, but are not limited to:
    American and LES staff overtime (e.g., expediter,
    accommodation exchange, representational event support),
    field travel-lodging and M&IE by Embassy employees, vehicle
    rentals, long distance telephone calls, equipment rentals,
    office supplies and all other costs that are directly
    attributable to the visit.  Also, for TDYers over thirty (30)
    days, there is a charge for ICASS support services.  If your
    sponsoring agency is not signed up for ICASS services at
    post, please be prepared to sign a MOU for ICASS support
    services upon arrival.  The agency should provide post with a
    written communication, generated by the traveler,s
    headquarters that confirms the agency will pay ICASS charges
    for the TDYers, provides the agency ICASS billing code the
    TDY support charges should be applied to, and authorizes the
    traveler to sign the ICASS invoice generated by the TDY
    module.  Where travel is urgent, the TDYers should bring this
    documentation with them to ensure there are no interruptions
    in the provision of service.  Post will not provide any
    service to a TDYer staying in excess of thirty days without
    provision of this documentation before day 31 of the TDY.

    ¶6.  (U)  HEALTH CONCERNS:

    Travelers to the jungle areas of Peru should have up-to-date
    yellow fever vaccine and malaria prophylaxis for
    chloroquine-resistant strains of malaria.  Primary prevention
    against malaria and dengue fever includes avoiding the
    mosquito vectors of these diseases: using insect repellant,
    appropriate protective clothing, and bed netting. Hepatitis A
    and B vaccinations are strongly recommended for all persons
    before coming to Peru. Rabies is present in country, and
    those individuals whose work and/or leisure activities might
    expose them to wild animals or feral dogs should consider
    receiving the rabies vaccine. Travelers diarrhea/dysentery is
    quite common in Peru. Visitors should substitute bottled
    beverages for potentially contaminated water.  Fish,
    shellfish, and vegetables should not be eaten unless well
    cooked, and all food should be eaten while still hot.  Fruits
    with a peel are generally safe, provided they are peeled
    before being eaten. Typhoid vaccine is also recommended.
    Cholera is endemic in Peru and disease rates reach high
    levels from January to May--the same food and bottled water
    precautions apply.  Travelers planning to travel to high
    altitude areas of Peru, such as Cuzco, Machu Picchu, and
    Puno, should consult with their health care provider first,
    and be fully aware of the health dangers of high altitudes
    and measures to minimize these dangers.

    ¶7.  (SBU) MEDICAL CLEARANCES:

    All employees, including WAEs and Civil Service Employees,
    who are in TDY status for more than 60 days (cumulatively) in
    a calendar year are required to have up-to-date medical
    clearances from the Office of Medical Services (Ref: SecState
    243096) in order to receive full State Department medical
    benefits including:

    --Fully cleared TDY personnel receive supplemental medical
    coverage from M/MED for conditions that arise overseas. This
    coverage is in addition to, but does not replace, private
    insurance coverage;

    --Fully cleared TDY employees are eligible for full MEDEVAC
    benefits should it become necessary to transport them from
    their assigned posts for medical reasons by other than
    standard commercial carrier;

    --Fully cleared TDY personnel are entitled to use the
    facilities of the Medical Unit at post on the same basis as
    other permanently assigned personnel.

    It is important to understand that if an employee is at a
    post without a medical clearance and the embassy medical
    provider determines that the employee has a condition that
    cannot be adequately cared for at that post, the employee may
    not be granted access to the embassy medical unit. Moreover,
    an employee at post without a medical clearance is not/not
    covered under M/MED for medical evacuation. While M/MED
    cannot provide MEDEVAC coverage for TDY employees without
    full clearances, private MEDEVAC insurance is available at
    reasonable cost and the employee is strongly encouraged to
    purchase the insurance. Private air ambulance medevacs can
    cost upwards of $100,000. In addition, it is important for
    the employee to review private health insurance coverage.
    Many HMO type policies do not cover hospitalization costs
    incurred outside of the USA. The employee will need to have a
    policy type that will reimburse them for medical expenses
    overseas.

    A medical clearance can be obtained as follows:

    If the WAE or other TDY employee lives in the Washington, DC
    area, they can schedule a medical clearance exam by calling
    (202) 663-1779 or e-mail to medclearances@state.gov.
    Availability of examination dates depends on demand and
    M/MED's standard priorities. If the exam is conducted in
    Washington, there is no cost to the employee. If the employee
    lives outside Washington, they may have their medical
    clearance exam performed by a private doctor. TheWAE or TDY
    employee can obtain the forms that the doctor needs to
    complete by calling (202) 663-1668. Clearance exams performed
    outside of MED are at the expense of the employee.

    Contractors or other long-term TDY employees who are not
    direct-hire USG employees are not covered under the
    Department of State Medical Program and so would, in general,
    fit under the guidelines bove for TDY employees without a
    medical clearance. They are not covered by M/MED for medevac
    and should be covered by medevac insurance through their
    contracting company. Access of these employees to the embassy
    medical units is a post decision made by the Chief of Mission
    or his designate acting upon the advice of the Regional
    Medical Officer. Please contact the Embassy Health Unit for
    further details.

    Employees working TDY for less than 60 cumulative days
    annually are not required to have medical clearances and are
    not covered under the procedures above. Unfortunately these
    short-term TDY employees frequently may have significant
    health problems that may be exacerbated by overseas travel or
    work and that may require a level of medical care that is not
    available at the post where the TDY employees are working.
    As with any international traveler on personal or business
    travel, these employees should consult with their personal
    physician regarding the safety or advisability of this
    travel.
