Arriving at Post
You should make the post aware of your travel plans so arrangements can be made to meet you,
help you through customs, and provide transportation to a hotel, temporary or assigned housing.
Many posts assign a sponsor to meet newcomers at the airport, look after their immediate needs
and introduce them to the mission community.
As a general rule, you will meet with an administrative or personnel officer at post soon after
arrival. Most newly arrived officers are expected to advise the mission upon arrival either by
phone or in person. However, the next business day is also acceptable at many posts.
Welcoming
Each post has its own traditional way of greeting newcomers and introducing them to other
members of the mission. A personnel officer or an orientation packet will explain this process.
Usually, the employee will be introduced to senior officers and colleagues at the office, but
family members may meet members of the mission community in a variety of ways. Individuals
or couples may call on you (the employee), you may call on them, parties may be planned, or the
post may sponsor periodic receptions for arriving and departing families. These events are
designed to help ease your family's transition. The employee and the family will benefit from
participation in these customary welcoming procedures.
