All payments must be made in SEK (Swedish krona)
Payment should be made by credit card or by International bank transfer (invoice). After 31 July 2019, payment by International bank transfer is no longer available. We only accept payments made by credit card after this date.
When choosing ‘International bank transfer’ in the registration form, you will receive an invoice including bank transfer information (bank account number, IBAN, etc). An invoice will be sent by e-mail after the registration has been confirmed.
Please note that we accept the following credit cards: VISA and MasterCard.

The participant/payee is responsible for any bank charges/fees associated with the payment.

Payment onsite

Available payment method onsite is credit card payment. We won´t accept payment by cash or invoice so please make sure to have settled your balance before you arrive.

Please, note that if you register onsite, you will most likely not be able to attend the Welcome Reception or the Congress Dinner.

Information about payment with credit card

For your safety, our payment system is connected to the 3D Secure system for ensuring the security of payments made through the internet. Your card needs to be connected to Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode. Your bank can inform you if your card is connected, and if not already, how it can be connected.

If you receive an error message when paying with your card, please check with your bank to see if they have a block on overseas payments, a block on internet payments, and/or a limit on the amount that can be charged in one day. These are common reasons why a payment initially does not go through.

Please note that 25% VAT is automatically added to your registration fee if you pay by credit card. If your organisation qualifies you to not pay VAT, please choose International bank transfer – EU-countries with VAT no. or Invoice Sweden and list your VAT-number (see VAT regulations below).

VAT regulations

According to Swedish legislation 25%, VAT will be added to the registration fee. However, you do not have to pay VAT if you work in either:

A public sector organisation within Sweden (e.g., university, governmental agency). In this case, you must choose Invoice (Swedish billing address only) as the payment mode and provide your VAT number.
An organisation or company within the EU with a valid VAT number. In this case, you must choose International bank transfer – EU countries with VAT no. as the payment mode and provide your VAT number.
