Vendor Setup PSA (Policy Service Announcement)

October 12, 2017

Reminders when requesting new vendor type – Individual – Non US Citizen and selecting certain visa types:

  • If you know the individual will not be entering the U.S. – select NE – No Entry/No U.S. Presence. No GLACIER email will be sent to the individual.

  • If you know the individual will be entering the U.S., but do not know their VISA type, select NA – Not Available. This will trigger a GLACIER email to the individual. The vendor setup team (VST) will correct the visa type upon receipt of the GLACIER tax summary report and immigration documentation.

  • Prior to setting individuals up as a vendor, please be sure to confirm if an individual will or will not be entering the U.S. Selecting an incorrect visa type can result in a delay when activating new vendors.
