Register domestic business travel
You as a traveler must submit your travel case in Primula as soon as possible, but latest within one year. You case is then reviewed and approved before payment.
In your case you need to attach:
- Program/agenda/similar documentation that supports that the reason for travel is business
(not needed for travel to one of our campus locations) - Receipts in original format for your expenses
Go to the menu option My page and select Travel/Expenses to register domestic business travel.
