INTERNATIONAL Per Diem Rates

The Commonwealth of Virginia uses the lodging and M&IE per diem rates for foreign travel as defined by the Federal Government.  The Secretary of State establishes these maximum rates of per diem allowances for travel in foreign areas. 

Rates for cities and countries outside the 48 contiguous states can be found at www.state.gov/m/a/als/prdm by choosing the appropriate year in the left-hand column and then the current updated Maximum Travel Per Diem allowance for Foreign Areas. If a specific city is not listed, use the “Other” rate shown for that country. The Lodging Rate includes taxes charged by the hotel.  The M&IE portion of the maximum per diem rate covers the cost of meals as well as incidental expenses.
