Other mobility expenses

Travel costs, accommodation, and meals during your stay are also funded by the Erasmus+ grant.  

The travel grant amount is calculated based on the distance that you need to travel from your home place to the course. Please use the following link to the distance calculator.

And this link if you want more detailed information about the program.

Accommodation and meals are funded by the individual support grant, which is calculated by multiplying the daily amount by the number of mobility days plus 2 days if your journey includes one day to travel from your country to Portugal, and another day to travel back home. The daily grant varies depending on the country you are traveling to, according to the forecast of the cost of living in that country. We could recommend the place to stay if asked.

 

Billing procedure

About one month before the course starting date, ACJ will send each participant and the school contact person an e-mail message with the individual invoices, and Bank transfer details.

Participants can pay the course fee until 21 days (three weeks) before the course starts, by Bank transfer. The reference number of the bill(s) should be mentioned in the transfer description to ease payment tracking. All transfer costs are paid by the payer.

The school or the contact person will send ACJ an e-mail with the attached bank transfer evidence, indicating the course name, starting date, and the name of the participants. Depending on the Erasmus+ Funding contract, the bills can be paid by the school or by individual teachers.
* If you wish to include your school's or the participant's VAT number, please send it to us by e-mail.

ACJ will send the bills/receipts to the contact person of each school. Bills/receipts are addressed to the school referring to the course name, place, starting and ending dates, and the name(s) of the participant(s).

 

Cancellation

ACJ is not responsible for any expenses caused by a case of force majeure. If flights are canceled for any reason ACJ, as the course provider, is not responsible for the financial or other consequences concerning travel, accommodation, or food. If unable to attend, the registered person be replaced by someone else from the same organization or attend another ACJ course, by sending a notification by e-mail. Due to COVID -19 situation, ACJ will refund the paid course fee only when the cancellation is based on the decisions and directives of authorities (EU, Government, National Agency). The cancellation fee is 150 euros (on-site) and 50 euros (online) per participant. This amount can be retrieved from the project's administrative expenses.

*VAT Tax explanation: Portugal has not exempted Erasmus KA1 courses from value-added tax. The schools and institutions need to deliver a valid VAT number when paying fees and want to avoid 23% VAT. Without such evidence of a tax code or number, ACJ has to add VAT+ 23% to the bill. Please check if your organization is registered on VIES (VAT Information Exchange System).
