If you are active duty military bringing dependents, it is essential that prior to leaving your current assignment each member acquires an official (no fee) passport. See your MPS passport office for further information. Please note: A tourist passport cannot be used in place of the no-fee passport. No-fee passports are used for official travel of dependents. Tourist passports are used for all leave-type and leisure travel. It is suggested that personnel wanting to travel in Europe obtain a tourist passport before arriving in Belgium. Application for a tourist passport may be made by visiting your local post office or by visiting the US Department of State passport website.
