Visa policy

Entry visas

Visas are to be applied for in the majority of instances before travel is attempted. Visas are divided into Tourist (30 days), Business (90 days), and Student (180 days) categories. Visas are to be applied for via the nearest Benacian Union legation or oversea office reachable by the applicant. Successful applications require a face to face interview and the payment of an individually negotiated travel bond prior to the issuing of a visa stamp. Travel bonds are to be paid in Craitish Cräite and are refundable upon departure. Applications from USSO member states are subject to additional vetting and require a 100,000 Cräite assurance bond payable before arrival. Visa applications from countries with Daemonic or Vanic associations will customarily be refused, with the exception of diplomatic envoys accredited to the Micras Treaty Organisation. Citizens of Raspur Pact countries are guaranteed freedom of movement and residency rights within the Benacian Union. Citizens of Xaiville Convention member-states receive a general visa valid for ninety-days on arrival. Five day shore-leave visas are available for mariners of third party nations, excepting USSO nationals and the citizens of countries with Daemonic or Vanic associations, whose vessels are anchored in a Benacian port whilst unloading cargo. Shore-leave visas are issuable at the sole discretion of the bailiwick's port authority and subject to their own schedule of rates.

Exit visas

Exit visas will normally only be granted to subjects of the Benacian Union who are engaged in the service of Benacia Command, the Black Legions, the Honourable Company, the Nationalist and Humanist Party, or the Union Defence Force, for a period of 180 days.

Other subjects of the Benacian Union may receive an exit visa validated for a period of 90 days if sponsored by one of the aforementioned organisations. Applicants must consent to an pre-exit interview with the Guild of Magisters-Carnifex, during which the negotiation of a suitable travel bond payable in Benacian sovereigns must be agreed, nominate a family member to serve as hostage during the period of their absence, and undertake to cooperate fully with the External Service for duration of their time abroad. Upon return to the territories of the Benacian Union the subject must report to the Magister-Carnifex for their bailiwick of residence, within 48 hours of arrival, for debriefing.

On account of their rebellion, no subject resident in Amokolia or Upper Elwynn may leave their bailiwick of residence, and none may travel abroad under any circumstances.

Travel to USSO aligned, Daemonic or Vanic influenced countries is absolutely prohibited. The Rite of Exorcism may be performed on any suspected of violating this injunction during their time abroad. Exceptions may only be granted to members of the External Service on the expressed permission of the High Presidium.

Illegal border transits

To attempt to exit or enter the territory of a member state of the Benacian Union without the sanction or permission of authority is a crime against the Union which may either be punished upon discovery through summary execution, or through of a period of a minimum of 25 years of bonded servitude in the Benacian Labour Reserve.
