Travel to Interview Scheme

The Travel to Interview Scheme (TIS) is available to the unemployed, and people under written notice of redundancy, who at the time of application are seeking work.

It aims to help jobseekers back to work by encouraging them to widen their jobsearch by providing financial assistance so that they can attend job interviews. Jobseeker's may also be entitled to overnight subsistence (maximum of 2 nights).

Interviews must be for specific jobs that are expected to last at least 3 months and will offer at least 16 hours work per week. Jobs offered on a self-employed/commission only basis can qualify if the jobseeker is being considered for work with a specific employer.

Applications should normally be made prior to the interview.
