Paying for multiple years at once
From 2019 on, it is possible to pay the membership fee for up to four years at once. In order to do so, simply multiply the amount by the years you want to pay at once. See more details about special cases below.
- A membership fee can be paid for one, two, three or four years (payment period) at once.
- If a person pays for multiple years and the membership fee is increased during that payment period, no extra payments will be demanded.
- If the fee is decreased, the association must reimburse the difference.
- If the membership class is changed during the payment period, the difference must be balanced.
- There will be no reimbursement if the member resigns or gets expelled during the payment period.
