Please have in mind that from the total amount of grants/participants we will cover the transfers from Timisoara, Belgrade, Budapest or Resita. Please discuss with the organizers and the sending organization before buying the tickets.

📌TRAVELLING:

Travelling by car ;

would involve you crossing Romania, where ROVIGNETA is needed. For 1 month, the price is around 32 lei (6.5 EUR). You can buy it in the first Gas Shop you encounter! Be aware we will need the gas bills in original and other travel documents (fees on the roads etc.) and we can only reimburse 7.5 liters/100km, as regulated in Romania.

If you travel by plane;

The nearest airport is Timisoara, from where we will pick you up and bring you to the venue (around 110 Km), Another option is Belgrade – we can also arrange pickups but it will be a specific hour for picking up all groups, depending on the arrival of the last group. This will ensure a cheaper transfer which will be taken directly from the reimbursement budget, you will not have to pay it yourself. We can assist you in coming even from Budapest (from where a 2 ways transfer is around 60 Euro) by contracting the transfer companies from Timisoara, which will pick you up from the airport or train station. You can also take a train from there to Timisoara, is a bit cheaper. (https://www.bahn.de/p/view/index.shtml) From Timisoara, we will arrange pick-ups.

If you travel by train;

If you travel by train the final stop should be Timisoara Nord or Resita Nord, from where we will pick you up! Timisoara has direct trains from most of the European cities.

Regardless of the way you choose to travel, first, inform your sending NGO which will inform us about your plans and wait for confirmation! Is mandatory to check the travel regulation from your country to Romania in the pandemic context. The sending NGO together with us will help you to get properly informed.

📌HEALTH INSURANCE:

all partners have the responsibility of assisting the participants in obtaining the EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) which is free, or the participants will take care of this aspect by themselves. In Romania, the Emergency services in Hospitals are free but let’s hope it doesn’t come to this.
