+1 to the overall sentiment, and +1 to Titus' modification as most
hosts will not be able to pay without the claim and receipts being
submitted.

However, as someone who has to authorise many guest expenses claims
through their institution, I know that it can be a struggle to get a
claim for someone who's not already in the system through processed
and paid in under a month. It's almost like they don't want to pay
people...

One thing that some hosts can do is book travel and accommodation
directly, which reduces the burden on instructors.
