TLA near Ramstein —
everything you need to know

TLA is a per diem allowance that covers the cost of temporary housing for military service members and their families when they arrive at or depart from an overseas duty station. It's designed to help cover lodging and meal expenses while you search for permanent housing or wait for household goods.

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.

Active duty military members on PCS orders to or from Ramstein Air Base, Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, or other installations in the KMC area are eligible. You'll need a Letter of Non-Availability from the billeting office (TLF) to stay off-base at a TLA-approved property like Mumo's Inn.

Contact the Ramstein Lodging Office at DSN 480-5594 or commercial +49 6371-47-5594. If the on-base TLF is full, they'll issue a Letter of Non-Availability, which authorizes you to use off-base TLA housing and receive your per diem allowance.

Per Diem rates vary by location and are updated regularly. The Landstuhl/Ramstein area rate covers lodging and meals. Check the current rate at the official DoD Per Diem calculator. Mumo's Inn rates are designed to work within your Per Diem allowance so there are no out-of-pocket costs.

No. Our pricing stays within your TLA Per Diem rate, so your lodging is fully covered by your military allowance.

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 a VAT form for tax-exempt transactions.

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.
