Hi,

A very simple question, If I get a position in a country where I am not eligible to have the "Expatriation allowance". And after few years I decide to move to a different country to a different DG, will I be able to request the expatriation allowance if I meet the requirements in this new location?

Thanks in advance

Dear Carlos,

As far as we know, it is the moment of the recruitment that matters. Should you get a position in another country later, that would not be considered as recruitment any longer, but as an internal transfer, therefore you won't be eligible for expatriation allowance.

However I advise that you double-check this issue with EPSO directly.

Best, David

david this is not correct, according to the staff regulations you are entitled to expat allowance if you have not lived in a country for last 5 years. and for the home country it is last 10 years. 

Thanks for the additional
