Foreign travel daily allowance claim

The travel expense calculator supports both domestic and foreign travel in the same form. Foreign journeys additionally require a border crossing to be entered.

When you enter the journey legs in the travel calculator ensure that for e.g flight destinations a distance is entered manually as the auto-fill only supports drivable destinations.

Border crossing for a flight or a ferry journey

• In the case of a ferry or flight, enter the departure time (in ticket) when leaving the country of residence, while for all other border crossings (including the return leg) please enter the arrival time.
• Enter all times in local time (system adjusts for timezone difference where appropriate).

Border crossing for a driving journey

• In the case of a driving journey please enter the actual border crossing time.
• When leaving or returning to the home country use the local time of your home country. For other border crossings use the local time on the arrival country.
