travel requirements

Business travel to India is permitted but requires coordination with Global Security. All travelers must take the following actions:

Get approval from designated Global Security contact
As early as possible in trip planning, consult Global Security for assistance in assessing and managing the risks associated with a proposed itinerary
Adhering to the recommendations of Global Security, company personnel can make their own travel bookings through CTREX or authorized travel agencies
Inform Global Security of travel itineraries in writing as far in advance of departure as possible

Travel to the contested India-controlled area of Kashmir is prohibited given ongoing periodic military skirmishes in the area.

security risks

Travelers to India should be aware of the potential for localized instability as a result of demonstrations and strikes. While petty crime is common, violent crimes against visitors are rare. There is, however, a background risk of anti-Western terrorism, as demonstrated by the 2008 attacks in Mumbai.

healthcare infrastructure and disease risks

guidance

Visitors in India should exercise high levels of caution and situational awareness and take the following precautions:

Avoid crowds and demonstrations
Avoid displaying valuables, including cash, electronics, and jewelry
Never leave possessions unattended (even momentarily) in public places including restaurants
Keep cell phones, tablets, cameras and other valuable electronic devices out of sight
Limit movements, especially after dark
Use reliable private car services for transportation
Avoid political demonstrations and other gatherings
Monitor media and local information sources
Minimize your profile by not displaying Chevron-related logos on your belongings
Be prepared for additional security measures and potential travel disruptions
All staff should ensure that their contact details are up to date before travel to India

Employees should be aware that information security risks can be greater during travel, as third parties present in foreign countries may monitor communications and transmissions.

Employees are advised to avoid communications on sensitive matters and to travel with as little sensitive information as possible.

travel security risk

	travel security risk levels	description
	Low	Low levels of non-violent crime may be present in business and tourist districts, hotels or other locations frequented by travelers, but violent crime is infrequent. Terrorist groups have limited operational capabilities or security and emergency services have the capacity to detect or adequately respond to a potential attack. Protests are mostly non-violent and rarely disrupt regular commerce, transportation and business operations. Industrial action and transport disruption are infrequent.
	Elevated	Crime is not pervasive, but non-violent and violent crime could impact visitors. Periodic political unrest, protests, and/or sporadic acts of terrorism occur, but are unlikely to directly impact business travelers. The capacity of security and emergency services and infrastructure varies. Industrial action can disrupt travel.
	High	Crime and terrorism pose significant direct or incidental risks to travelers. Anti-government or anti-western demonstrations may be commonplace or violent and could delay or prevent travel. Parts of the country are inaccessible or off-limits to the traveler.
	Critical	Violent crime and/or terrorism is pervasive and is directed at travelers. Political instability, domestic conflict and/or violent civil unrest pose significant risks. There is a high risk of arbitrary detention. Large parts of the country are inaccessible to foreigners.

healthcare infrastructure and disease risk

	levels	description
	A	Health care infrastructure is well developed, and site is often used as a referral center. It has competent care in English in most or all sub-specialties, including non-clinical adjuncts such as speech therapy, developmental needs, etc. Endemic diseases are well controlled or not significant. Chevron maintains or has ready access to health care resources. Business travelers should strongly consider consulting with Global Health and Medical prior to travel.
	B	Health care infrastructure is partially/poorly developed and not always available. Advanced care is on an emergency-only basis because of concerns about access, competence, communications in English, medical culture, follow up, hygiene, etc. or care is available for basic needs and sometimes for diagnostics only. Few or no non-clinical adjunctive care resources are present. Endemic diseases may be present with irregular or poor control. Chevron has limited or no internal health support and relies on limited external health care resources or external health resources are unreliable. Business travelers should strongly consider consulting with Global Health and Medical prior to travel.
