    The Foreign Visitor Request (FVR) form is a critical document for Serco Inc. employees hosting non-affiliate foreign visitors at Serco facilities. Its purpose is to ensure compliance with all Serco and U.S. Government requirements prior to any visit. Employees must submit the form at least five business days in advance to their program manager/supervisor, who then forwards it to Global Trade Compliance (GTC) for security and export compliance review. The form requires detailed information on both the Serco sponsor and the foreign visitor, including personal details, company affiliation, visit dates, and purpose. It also addresses sensitive topics like classified discussions and controlled unclassified information. Final approval involves the program manager/supervisor, GTC, and Security, with Security being the last to review and distribute the approved FVR. This process highlights Serco's commitment to national security and regulatory adherence in foreign visitor engagements, particularly relevant in government contracting and federally regulated environments.
