What Is TDY Housing
Near Ramstein Air Base?
TDY (temporary duty) means you're sent to work at a location away from your permanent duty station, without a household goods shipment and without a PCS move. Assignments can run anywhere from a few days to several months. If you're relocating permanently to the KMC, that's a PCS move, and our TLA housing near Ramstein is the right page for you instead.
TDY stays near Ramstein Air Base often occur when military personnel:
• attend training or temporary missions
• support operations at Ramstein Air Base
• participate in exercises within the Kaiserslautern Military Community
• work temporarily at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC)
TLA Office provides fully furnished homes designed for flexible short-term military stays.
On base or off base, what actually differs
Many travelers check the on-base Temporary Lodging Facility (TLF), such as the Ramstein Inn, first. It’s a solid option when a room is available. An off-base, furnished apartment is the alternative when you want more space, a full kitchen, more privacy, or simply a confirmed place to stay booked ahead of time instead of waiting on availability.
Relocating permanently to the KMC instead of a short TDY stay? See our TLA housing page for PCS moves.
TDY Ramstein Housing gives you a fully furnished, flexible option for the length of your temporary duty assignment, with no long-term lease required.

How a TDY Stay Works With TLA Office
Here’s what to expect, from cost to move-in, once you book with us.
What's Included
Every home comes fully furnished, with a kitchen, linens, and wifi included, so you can cook your own meals and settle in instead of living out of a suitcase. We accept your Government Travel Charge Card like any other payment.
Your Per Diem Covers It
Your travel per diem has a lodging portion and a meals and incidental expenses portion, both set by your orders and current DoD rates. For longer stays, your finance office typically reimburses the lower of your actual daily cost or your lodging per diem, so check your rate before booking.
Booking Is Simple
There's no lease to sign and no Housing Referral Office review, just a reservation with us and an invoice for your travel voucher. That means we can usually confirm a stay quickly, even on short notice.
VAT Forms and a Real Person to Ask
We accept VAT relief forms and handle the paperwork, just bring your form from your installation's Tax Relief Office. Andrew personally answers questions from TDY guests, just as he does for PCS families.
