Refunds will be processed within 30 business days using the original payment method.

Visa Policy

Participants requiring a visa to attend the 2026 JCI Global Youth Summit are responsible for initiating their visa application process in a timely manner and ensuring that all required documentation is submitted to the relevant authorities.

JCI World Headquarters will provide an official invitation letter upon request for registered and fully paid participants. Please note that this letter is issued solely to support the visa application process and does not guarantee visa approval.

In the event that a participant is unable to obtain a visa, the following conditions will apply:

  • A 50% refund of the registration fee may be granted.
  • JCI World Headquarters must be notified in writing no later than June 17, 2026.
  • The refund request must include official documentation of the visa rejection, such as a letter or formal notification issued by the relevant embassy or consulate.
  • Requests submitted after June 29, 2026, or without valid supporting documentation, will not be eligible for any refund.

Please note:

  • Administrative fees, bank charges, and currency exchange differences may be deducted from the refunded amount.
  • Delays in visa application submission, incomplete documentation, or failure to attend visa appointments will not be considered valid grounds for a refund.
  • JCI is not responsible for any costs incurred related to visa applications, travel arrangements, or accommodation bookings.
  • Approved refunds will be processed within 30 business days and issued using the original payment method.

Participant Responsibility

Participants are responsible for arranging and covering their own travel, accommodation, insurance, transportation, and personal expenses unless otherwise expressly stated by the organizers.

JCI shall not be responsible for medical expenses, travel disruptions, or personal losses incurred during participation in the Summit.

Harassment, discrimination, intimidation, disruptive conduct, or behavior inconsistent with the JCI Code of Conduct may result in removal from participation and potential restriction from future JCI activities.

Complaint and Incident Reporting

Participants acknowledge awareness of the procedures available for reporting incidents, concerns, or violations of the JCI Code of Conduct and Harassment Policy.

All reports will be handled with appropriate confidentiality and seriousness.

By participating in the Summit, participants voluntarily assume such risks associated with travel and attendance.

Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, JCI and collaborating organizations shall not be responsible for personal injury, illness, delay, loss, theft, damage, or other unforeseen circumstances arising from participation in or travel related to the Summit, except where caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Force Majeure
