Relocation
AfDB describes its international staff package as including full relocation and an installation allowance. Coverage is set by contract terms, family status, and the duty station named in the offer. Source
Visa sponsorship
AfDB staff covered by the Bank's privileges receive protection from immigration restrictions needed for official service. Practical visa and residence steps are handled through the duty station and host-country procedures. Source
Home leave / paid home travel
AfDB's international package includes paid home leave. Frequency, eligible family travel, and routing are governed by staff rules and the appointment conditions. Source
Diplomatic license plate
Vehicle privileges for AfDB staff are protocol benefits handled by the host country and are usually limited by rank or accreditation. The public legal source supports official privileges, not a universal plate entitlement. Source · estimate
Diplomatic document
AfDB staff privileges can support official accreditation or identity documentation in a host country. The exact document and dependent coverage vary by headquarters or country-office arrangements. Source · estimate
VAT exemption
AfDB's founding agreement provides tax and customs privileges for the Bank. Personal VAT or customs relief for staff is handled through local privileges arrangements rather than as part of base compensation. Source · estimate
Income tax exemption
AfDB presents its international staff remuneration as tax-free, subject to legal reservations and domestic rules for some nationals. Those exceptions matter when comparing net pay across citizenship or residence situations. Source
Functional immunity
AfDB officials receive immunity for official acts under the Bank's legal framework. This is functional protection for Bank duties and can be limited where the Bank waives immunity. Source
Airport special lane
AfDB officials can receive travel facilities connected with their official status where protocol arrangements recognize them. Airport lane access is local and not part of every staff package. Source · estimate
