Foreign Visitor Payees
While foreign visitor payees are a small percentage of our payees, they often have difficulty responding to our Secure Portal request for information required for payment. As of January 18, when you request setup of a foreign visitor payee, you will automatically be assigned as "Authorized Agent" and will receive the Secure Portal request. The foreign visitor payee will not receive the Secure Portal request unless you elect to forward it to them. You coordinate with your visitor to gather and securely submit necessary information via the portal.
