Where a non-family mission location is designated as a family duty station internationally-recruited staff members with eligible dependents (i.e. a spouse and dependent children who would normally reside with the staff member when not serving in a non-family duty station) are eligible for travel related entitlements for family members. These include:
Initial travel of eligible family members to the duty station,
Payment of assignment grant in respect of family members who travel to the family duty station at UN expense consisting of 30 days DSA at half the rate applicable to the duty station for each family member,
Shipment of personal effects for family members who travel to the duty station at UN expense in the amount of 500 kgs for the first eligible family member and 300 kgs for each additional dependent, or a relocation grant in the lump-sum amount of $5,000 for all family members in lieu of shipment of personal effects.
In addition, eligible family members of staff serving in a family duty station are eligible for home leave travel and education grant travel.
