Important

Always choose the most economy option!
Your travel must start from the country where your sending organisation is, to Plovdiv in Bulgaria, and back to your sending country. If you exceed the maximum amount, you must cover the difference at your own expense. We ask you to choose the most economical tickets. First-class tickets, luxury services, including taxi are not eligible.

Rarely exceptions might apply ONLY communicated and approved by the Smokinya Foundation representative in written.


Reimbursement is a process, and as such it is different from country to country, depending on national regulation and bookkeeping rules.

For projects in Bulgaria you must provide all original tickets, boarding passes, receipts and invoices.
That means, after the project, when you get back home, you must mail by registered post (with tracking number) all your original travel documents that you got.

It might take between 30 and 50 business days to be completed as a process and highly depends on your active participation in providing your travel documents in a timely manner.
