Are there employment opportunities for spouses and declared same-sex domestic partners overseas?
Yes. Employment opportunities for spouses and declared same sex domestic partners vary by country of assignment. The Department’s Family Liaison Office maintains a listing of job opportunities at most posts and may be contacted directly once an assignment is known. The Department also has a growing number of “tandem couples” in which both spouses and declared same-sex domestic partners work for a foreign affairs agency of the U.S. government.
