Foreign National workers and dependents:

Foreign Nationals who posses a DoD CAC (with a blue strip) or a foreign dependent military ID card will now have to provide a document from their U.S. Command stating why they are accessing Fort Belvoir.  If it is a one-day access for an appointment, a memorandum from the U.S. Command or and appointment letter/slip is sufficient. Their ID and memorandum will be verified and access will be granted.

 

If a Foreign National, who posses a DoD CAC (with a blue strip) or a foreign dependent military ID card, will be accessing the installation for an extended period of time, the document from their U.S. Command will need to state the reason for access and the duration of timeframe for repeated access. They must provide the document and military ID to the Visitor Center at Tulley Gate, where it will be verified. Their ID will then be registered in to the Automated Installation Entry System (AIE). This will allow the Foreign National to have unimpeded access at all of the gates for their future visits, until the expiration date on the memorandum from their U.S. Command.
