Maximum Travel Per Diem Allowances for Foreign Areas
The maximum per diem rates for foreign counties are based on costs reported in the Hotel and Restaurant Section (Form DSP-23W) submitted by foreign posts.

The lodging portion of the allowance is based on average reported costs for a single room, including any mandatory service charges and taxes.

The M&IE rate is based on these meal costs plus an additional amount, equal to 10% of the combined lodging and meal costs, to cover incidental travel expenses. ... [Read More]
