Determining your fee category
The ILAE uses the World Bank list of economies as of 1 December 2021 to categorise registration fees. Individuals living and working in low, low middle and upper middle countries must provide proof of nationality for that country, or proof of employment in that country. This can be uploaded in your user account when registering. This also applies to those purchasing registrations on behalf of others. Registration for one day or by session is not possible.
Determining which country to select
If you are registering for a fee which is lower than your country of residence, there is an additional piece of documentation that you must upload along with your passport. You will be asked to provide proof of current residence, employment or education in the country associated with the fee for which you are registering.
Example: You are a High-Income Economy passport-holder working in an Upper-Middle-Income Economy and registering for the Upper-Middle-Income Economy fee. You will provide
- a copy of your High-Income Economy passport as well as
- proof of current residence, current employment or current education in the Upper-Middle-Income Economy.
This request also applies to universities and hospitals who are registering delegates from economies belonging to income categories lower than that of the hospital or university.
Example: Your hospital is located in an Upper-Middle-Income Economy and you are registering a delegate who is from a Lower-Middle-Income Economy. You will provide
- a copy of their passport as well as
- proof of their current residence, current employment or current education in that Lower-Middle-Income Economy.
