The A Per Diem is a daily allowance for meals and incidentals a field worker can use when traveling internationally for their Reliant role for a period of 3 or more days. The International Per Diem form for international travel allows field workers to request a set amount for Meals meals and small incidental expenses without having to save receipts and reimburse individual costs for these items on a regular expense submission form. In most cases, the International Per Diem form is to be used for ministry travel outside of the United States for a period of 3 days or longer (although if you have a shorter trip and prefer to use Per Diem, that may be an option.)
Reliant requests that a field worker only requests the amount of Per Diem necessary for their actual expenses.
The International Per Diem Meals & Incidents rate is meant to cover food and small incidentals such as tips for hotel staff. All other expenses such as lodging or other travel costs need to be submitted through the International Expense Submission Form.

Change to Standard: In the past, the Per Diem form was also used to submit reimbursements for lodging and other travel costs. Now that we have created a new expense submission process, we request that all lodging and travel reimbursements be submitted through the normal expense submission forms. |
Spouse and children's costs are also eligible for Per Diem. A spouse's Per Diem may be taxable and recovered through an Expense Recovery Bonus (ERB) if the spouse is not a Reliant field worker or is not serving in a ministry role on the trip. Children's Per Diem costs are taxable and recovered through an ERB.

Associate field workers are eligible for per diem for themselves during the active conduct of ministry, but they are not eligible for per diem for a spouse or children. |

| International Per Diem may also be used for ministry travel companions and 3rd parties serving in a ministry role. In most cases, these International Per Diems must be paid for out of a Reliant Ministry Department Fund (non-MTD fund) such as a church fund or mission trip fund. Certain restrictions apply, so contact us at reimbursements@reliant.org for details. |
Additional Approvals
