Who can participate?

Payment and cancellation overview

The legacy terms mention payment before departure and refund tiers based on working days. The older sources contain differing payment wording: a non-refundable deposit is described in Terms & Conditions, while a fees page refers to full payment. Treat this as a policy conflict and obtain a single updated written policy from VAT before taking payments.

International flights, visas and necessary insurance are described as excluded in the old Terms & Conditions. Additional transaction charges and optional activities may also apply.
