The frequency of defensive foreign travel briefings typically depends on the specific organization's policy, but generally it's required at least once a year. Here's a breakdown:
* **Minimum requirement:** In most cases, you'll need a briefing **at least once a year** before traveling abroad, even if it's for personal reasons.
* **More frequent briefings:** Some organizations might require briefings more often, especially if your job involves frequent travel or travel to high-risk areas.
Here are some resources to learn more about specific requirements:
* **Government agencies:** Many government agencies have specific guidelines for employees traveling abroad. You can find them on the relevant agency's website. For instance, the U.S. Department of State travel website provides resources for travelers
* **Your employer:** Your employer's security office or human resources department will have information on their specific travel briefing policies.
