GAFI Visa, Cancellation & Refund Policy
Visa Requirements
Participants requiring a visa to attend the
Global Microfinance Summit 2026 are responsible
for obtaining the appropriate visa and meeting all
applicable visa requirements. GAFI will provide a
visa invitation letter to registered participants
only after receipt of the full registration payment
and the required documentation.
Participants are advised to apply for their visa
well in advance of the Summit, taking into
consideration the visa processing timelines
applicable in their country of residence.
Visa Refusal
In the event that a participant's visa application
is officially refused, the participant may request
a refund of the registration fee by providing GAFI
with a copy of the official visa refusal notification.
For visa-related cancellations, the following refund
policy will apply:
• Cancellations made 30 days or more prior
to the event:
The registration fee will be refundable, subject to
submission of official proof of visa refusal. An
administrative/processing fee may be deducted from
the refund.
• Cancellations made less than 30 days
before the event:
The registration fee will not be refundable,
including in cases where a visa has been refused.
