Apply for Second Vehicle Supplement (SVS)
In accordance with the new LOA regulations accompanied personnel in PStat Cat 1, 1S or 1C may be eligible for an additional daily contribution towards the cost of running and maintaining a second vehicle whilst on an overseas assignment.
For the purposes of SVS a vehicle is defined as a machine with wheels and an engine used to convey people or goods (e.g. car, van, campervan, motor bike) for personal use. You may not register a vehicle used for a business.
To initially claim you will be required to provide a copy of the Registration Document and Insurance Green Card for both vehicles. This will need to be produced annually for continued payment and you are advised to note the date of your initial claim and set a reminder to provide the NSE with the new documents one month prior to the renewal date.
School Children’s Visits (SCV)
The SCV Calculator will allow you to compare your actual journey to the notional journey. This will dictate what you claim for.
