You can receive a travel advance if you have a mobility grant before a sabbatical. Otherwise, travel advances are only given in extraordinary cases. Employees should use the Eurocard credit card to pay for work-related expenses.

You can use a credit card instead of a travel advance

NTNU has a credit card agreement with EuroCard. The card can be used for work-related expenses for NTNU. You can pay for flights with the credit card and request deferred payment (Book Now – Pay Later).

Submit your travel expense report as soon as the trip is over. The travel expenses are usually reimbursed before the credit card bill is due.

Apply for travel advance

You apply for a travel advance in the Self-service portal and select "Register travel request and advances". The form will be sent to your leader/cost approver for approval.

Log in to the Self-service portal

See guide: Register travel requests and advances in the Self-service portal

Remember to submit your travel expense claim

In addition to having your application for travel advance approved, you must submit travel expense claims for your trip. After your manager (cost approver) has approved the travel advance application, it will appear where you write your expense claim in the Self-service Portal or the DFØ app. See guide: Convert a travel request to a travel expense claim | DFØ (dfo.no)

Advance for Sabbatical

If you need an advance payment in connection with a sabbatical, see the page Travel advance Mobility Grant. Remember to register the settlement when you return, by converting the travel application into a travel expense claim.
