Documents to enter in Azores Island

Do NOT forget your necessary documents to enter in Azores Island! Try to have with you everything that’s relevant for YOU to enter! In general, the citizens of European Union can enter in Azores Island only with the ID Card (National Card) BUT it's the responsibility of each participant to check, recheck and double-check its own travel condition(s) to Azores Island, from the starting departure point all the way to the final arrival destination.

Procedure Reimbursement

Please use the cheapest ways of transportation possible - Second class ! If you will use as well, the train and/or the bus, please use the second class, this is very important ! It is mandatory for your flight tickets to be "Flexible", this means to be free of charge in case we/you will have to change the dates of the flight(s) !

You can travel 1-2 day(s) max before the project starts and 4 - 5 day(s) after the project ends but not more than these days !

Please DO NOT LOSE your Boarding Passes, train tickets and/or bus tickets ! We will not be able to reimburse you anymore, if you lose them !

Mandatory, send us by email or bring with you:

-Booking confirmation/E-ticket

-Proof of payment/Invoice

-Extras account if you paid with your card

-Boarding Pass(es) if you travel by plane

-Proof of travel health insurance !

We strongly encourage you to buy flights that have the possibility to do online check-in and in this way you will be able to give us the return boarding passes as well, without sending them to us by post when you return home !

If for your airline is not possible, you still need to send us the boarding passes by post after the project. It is very important to have all your travel and financial documents with you for each person, otherwise the reimbursement will not be possible ! Reimbursement will be done by bank transfer ONLY in the account of your sending organization, according to the rules of Erasmus+.

If you will not provide us an INSURANCE (scan, picture) for your entire stay on the island, we will not be able to reimburse you anymore. We will make an effort and we will try to do all the reimbursements for all the national groups within 3 - 4 months after the end of the project, BUT only if we will get on time all the necessary required documents from every participant, and the proof of dissemination activities !

The project is not a party or a trip to the island, we are giving a lot of importance to the activities. We will establish together a dissemination plan which will have to be followed. Dissemination is very important and needs to be done! If you will not do the dissemination we will not do the reimbursement either.

We will NOT reimburse:

- the expenses of renewal of passport

- the expenses of insurance

- the charges of change of flight ticket

- the traveling expenses outside of itinerary form your country to Azores Island

- the price difference between the granted amount and the real price of your trip
