Business trips & workations

When is the A1 certificate required?

Employers are required to apply for the A1 certificate for every cross-border assignment of their employees – from the very first working day abroad. Flexible models like workations need one too, to stay compliant and avoid risk.

  • Business trips: short stays abroad
  • Workations: temporary work from within the EU
  • Assignments: longer postings over weeks and months

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about A1 & CoCs

The employer is required to apply for the A1 certificate for every cross-border assignment of their employees – not the employees themselves. premote handles the application automatically in the background.

From the first working day abroad – as soon as the border is crossed and work begins. In principle this also applies to short business trips and single-day meetings.

The A1 certificate applies within the EU, the EEA and Switzerland. The Certificate of Coverage (CoC) applies to states with a social security agreement, such as the USA or the United Kingdom. Both prove the person stays covered by home-country social security.

The application is generated automatically from the trip data and submitted in seconds. You and your employees no longer fill in any forms – the issued certificate is stored audit-proof in the document safe.

premote issues A1 certificates for all EU and EEA states as well as Switzerland. For countries with a social security agreement – such as the USA or the United Kingdom – the matching Certificate of Coverage (CoC) is requested automatically instead.

premote integrates seamlessly with common booking and travel tools such as Concur, TravelPerk, Egencia and Navan, automating A1 and CoC applications in the background – with no change to your process. Alternatively, use premote's own request form or connect internal travel systems via our API.

The application is submitted in real time in every country – generated automatically from the trip data, in seconds instead of days. The subsequent processing time until issuance varies by EU/EEA country, as each national authority has its own deadlines. The application itself, however, is filed immediately everywhere.

Yes. For every trip premote automatically checks whether an A1 certificate is required and only applies for one when it is actually needed. Should the planned A1 reform with new de-minimis thresholds come into force, premote will keep running this check on every trip – so you always stay compliant.
