 APPLYING FOR RE-ENTRY PERMIT OR REFUGEE TRAVEL DOCUMENT
Reentry permit is issued to those who have status of permanent resident,
that is to those who currently have either a plastic green card or a stamp in their
passports (this stamp is called I-551) or have a temporary green card (it is just a white
sheet of paper given to those who are no longer refugee or asylee but do not have a
plastic green card yet.) Reentry permit is of white color and is issued for two years (if
the applicant has a green card) or for the period of validity of I-551 or temporary green
card.
Second kind of Travel Document is called Refugee
Travel Document. It is issued to those who currently hold asylum or refugee
status, it is of blue color and is valid for one year.
