Revised Arrangements for Foreign Travel
22 November, 2021
With Immeadiate Effect 22/11/2021
Core System
Staff no longer have to use Core Portal to claim foreign travel. Foreign claims will be processed by our expenses office staff using the pdf form (T01) and the processed claims will be available to view on your Core Portal account. All other domestic travel and refunds continue to use Core Portal. The reason for this change is that following feedback from staff, the system for foreign travel was found to be very confusing and ultimately much slower in processing claims.
Foreign Travel
Staff undertaking foreign travel require prior apprvoal from their line manager. This approval is completed on Form T01 and Flight continue to be booked via the ETR
Covid Restrictions
All international travel must to be notified in advance to insurance@mtu.ie as our cover has been organized on a limited basis and cover is subject to specific terms and conditions. We continue to advise staff to also seek guidance from the government advice and guidelines on travel at: Travel Advice - Department of Foreign Affairs https://www.dfa.ie/travel/travel-advice/
