Important Note on the Accreditation of Civil Servants in the United States
U.S. legislation concerning the tenure of staff assigned to bilateral diplomatic missions, as established by the Office of Foreign Missions – U.S. Department of State, limits the stay of such personnel in the country to a maximum period of five years.
Furthermore, following any stay in the U.S. as staff assigned to a diplomatic mission—regardless of its duration—a period of 36 months must elapse after the end of the previous stay before the individual may be reassigned to another mission in the future.
This regulation applies to all personnel who have served or will serve in the U.S. with diplomatic or official passports affiliated with the MEFP (Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Sports), including technical advisors and civil servant teachers, whether on temporary assignments or secondments.
