On top of this comes travel support, which depends on the distance and is higher if you go by train or bus, and any grants from your country, your region or your university. The planner adds the travel support for you.
When is it paid?
Usually after you arrive. 62.7% received the Erasmus+ grant only after leaving. Of those leaving Spain, only 11.6% are paid before they go. That is why you have to pay the journey, the deposit and the first months' rent up front.
