May an employee and eligible family member (EFM) children take an authorized departure from post while the employees spouse or domestic partner remains at post for professional reasons?
Yes, an employee and EFM children may be granted an authorized departure from post upon approval of the Chief of Mission, per DSSR 610j. If they were married couple employees or domestic partnership employees, the employees spouse or domestic partner would not be required to evacuate. If the employees spouse or domestic partner is a locally hired employee at the Mission or is otherwise employed outside the Mission the spouse or domestic partner would not be required to evacuate, for example, if the employees spouse was employed as a teacher in an international school.
