The Andorran government has updated per diem rates for general administration staff traveling abroad in 2026, publishing the details in the Butlletí Oficial del Principat d’Andorra (BOPA) as part of the current budget framework.
Rates are divided into four zones (A, B, C, and D) based on destination costs, with Zone A covering capitals and cities hosting international organizations, and Zone D including smaller Spanish cities under 600,000 residents. Allowances differ by travel purpose—official duties or training—and cover breakfast, lunch, dinner, accommodation, mileage at €0.40 per kilometer, and telephony at €4.74 per night abroad.
For official duties, Zone A provides the highest amounts: €33.57 for lunch, €38.53 for dinner, and €197.53 for accommodation. These drop in Zone D to €25.42 for lunch and €30.50 for dinner, with accommodation scaled accordingly. Training trips have lower rates, such as €24.43 for lunch and €29.50 for dinner in Zone A, alongside €161.88 for accommodation there. Breakfast ranges from €16.38 to €17.87 with lodging, or a flat €7.17 without, across all zones.
The system aims to align compensation with actual travel costs and ensure uniform coverage for public employees, according to the executive. Full zone-based tables appear in the official BOPA publication.
