Are travel days allowed in AFU?

The road to the place of vacation: norms and the rule of 24 hours. Updated: October 2026.

Quick Answer

Yes. The road to the place of vacation and back is not included in the vacation period: up to 2 days one way depending on the distance and schedule. The vacation ticket will have a separate column ("Vacation 15 days, travel period 4 days"). After arrival - the 24-hour rule: register with TRC/SP or VSP. Details below.
