In order to provide equal chances for all EU citizens, EPSO reimburses a flat-rate travel cost and hotel expenses for those who need to travel to Brussels to the Assessment Centre.
For the pre-selection exams, there is no reimbursement possible (even if a candidate has to travel to another country where an exam centre is located in case there is no exam opportunity in his or her own country - though each EU Member State has at least one exam centre, the above situation may happen in other continents around the world).
The reimbursement may take a few weeks but it is a right that all candidates have once they are invited to the Assessment Centre.
