Requests for refunds will be granted for cancellation until August 20, 2022 and must be emailed to registrar@isaps.org . No refunds will be granted for any reason thereafter, except in cases of failure to obtain a visa to enter Turkey (with documentary evidence from Embassy or Consulate) or COVID-19 / other travel restrictions imposed directly by the government of Turkey.
In case of cancellation due to illness/accidents, we will require your medical certificate from a local hospital/doctor, including the delegate’s full name and dates of document creation.
To ensure the refund application can be successful, the document should be from the few days before the trip and no later than 2 days after the trip departure.
Refunds are at ISAPS' discretion.
A 20% administrative fee will be retained from all refunds except for visa denials.
In case you are unable to travel due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, we will offer you the possibility to convert your onsite participation into a virtual Congress attendance (and will refund you the difference in the Congress fee).
ISAPS will not be responsible for any travel-related costs. Many airlines are offering change fee waivers for booked airfare. Please contact your travel provider for their currently established fee and cancellation policies. It is your responsibility to cancel your reservation.
For your travel arrangements, we recommend that you contact your travel agency and hotel as soon as possible to modify your bookings. It is your responsibility to cancel your reservation.
