For what
Travel
Project
The residency grant is compiled of two parts:
- Hosting allowance, which is allocated to the host
- Daily allowances, travel allowances and top-ups, which are allocated to each participant based on individual travel plans and needs
The grant calculations are made specifically for each beneficiary, based on their project and participants’ personal situation. T
How much
- Hosting allowance: €35,- per day per resident
- Travel allowance: €350,- (per resident/per round trip) for a travel distance under 5.000 km; €700,- for a travel distance over 5000 km
- Daily allowance of €35,- per resident per day (a contribution to accommodation, food, renting equipment, local transport, etc.)
- Top-ups for green travel (€350,- per person for choosing not to travel by airplane); for family members (€100 per resident with children below the age of 10); for visa (€80,- per person for expenses related to visa processes); for disability support (budget to be agreed with the Culture Moves Europe team according to individual needs); for applicants travelling to or from the Overseas Countries and Territories or Outermost Regions, which are for The Netherlands: Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, Sint Maarten, Sint Eustatius (€150,- per resident).
The top-ups can be added cumulatively: one person can receive several top-ups at the same time. Justification and proof for the required top-ups will be asked.
The entire residency grant is transferred to the residency host, who is responsible for distributing the corresponding amounts to each participant.
