TLA near Ramstein —
everything you need to know

TLA is a housing allowance that covers the cost of temporary lodging for military service members and their families when arriving at or departing from an overseas duty station. It helps bridge the gap between your arrival in Germany and moving into permanent housing.

TLA (Temporary Lodging Allowance) covers temporary housing overseas. TLF (Temporary Lodging Facility) is on-base temporary housing. TDY (Temporary Duty) is for short-term assignments away from your permanent duty station. TQSA (Temporary Quarters Subsistence Allowance) is similar to TLA but for civilian employees stationed overseas.

Not necessarily. If you're Active Duty on PCS orders, the Ramstein Lodging Office (DSN 480-5594) will issue a Statement of Non-Availability if the on-base TLF is full — bring that letter when you file your TLA claim. If you're TDY, a GS civilian, a contractor, or visiting LRMC, you may not need one. Either way, you're welcome at Mumo's Inn. Just reach out and we'll help you figure out what applies to your situation.

TLA reimbursement rates are set by the Department of Defense and vary by location. The Landstuhl/Ramstein area rate covers lodging and a meals & incidentals allowance (M&IE). Check the current rate at the official DoD allowance calculator. Our rates are designed to align with published lodging ceilings.

Our nightly rates are designed to align with published TLA and TQSA lodging ceilings. Most guests with a valid Non-Availability Letter are reimbursed in full. Actual reimbursement depends on your orders, branch, and funding — check with your finance office for details.

We accept Government Travel Card (GTC), bank transfer (SEPA), cash (EUR), and major credit/debit cards. Most TLA guests pay with their GTC. We also provide VAT documentation if applicable.

A VAT (Value Added Tax) form exempts you from paying German sales tax (19%) on your lodging. As a member of the U.S. forces under the NATO Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), you're eligible for this exemption. We'll help you with the paperwork.

Yes! We welcome well-behaved pets — no deposits, no breed restrictions. We'll have treats and a water bowl ready for dogs and cats on arrival. Boris, our own feel-good agent, would love to meet your furry friend and show them the best walking routes in the neighborhood.
