Participants are requested to make their own arrangements for health and travel insurance. The conference fee does not include insurance.

In the event that the congress cannot be held or is postponed due to events beyond the control of the congress organisers (force majeure) or due to events which are not attributable to wrongful intent or gross negligence of the congress organisers, the congress organisers cannot be held liable by delegates for any damages, costs, or losses incurred, such as transportation costs, accommodation costs, costs for additional orders, financial losses, etc.

Upon handing out a new name badge, the lost badge will be deactivated and become invalid.

Individuals requiring an official letter of invitation from the congress organisers can request one by contacting the EANO 2018 registration department. To receive a letter of invitation, delegates must first register to the congress and then write an email to the registration department.
The letter of invitation does not financially obligate the congress organisers in any way. All expenses incurred in relation to the congress, the registration and the attendance are the sole responsibility of the delegate.

It is the sole responsibility of the delegate to take care of his/her visa requirements. Delegates who require an entry visa must allow sufficient time for the application procedure. Delegates should contact the nearest Swedish embassy or consulate to determine the appropriate timing of their visa applications.
Note: Swedish embassies and consulates-general are independent decision-making agencies for visas, sometimes after specific checks have been made with other E.U. countries. You cannot appeal against the rejection of a visa application; neither can the EANO 2018 organising office intervene on your behalf in case of a rejection or to speed up the procedure.

Delegate registration details will be shared with the Swedish immigration authorities on request to assist in the immigration process. However, the congress organisers and/or the EANO 2018 registration department will not directly contact embassies and consulates on behalf of visa applicants.

The registration fee minus a handling fee of EUR 25.- will be refunded after the congress if the visa was applied for in time and proof is shown that a visa could not be granted even though all requested documents were submitted. Refund requests must be made in writing and sent to the EANO 2018 registration department, by email, no later than September 30, 2018, after which requests for such refunds cannot be taken into consideration.

As part of a Schengen visa application, individuals must have travel-health insurance for the duration of their stay in the E.U.. This insurance can be obtained from any approved insurer. Individuals need to check with the responsible embassy/consulate for a list of approved insurers available in their country.

Individuals must have insurance for their entire stay in the E.U. zone and therefore are encouraged to ensure and pay for the correct number of days. The visa will only be given for the dates that are covered by the insurance policy, which need to relate to the travel dates.
