Delegation Quota

Each National Member Organization (NMO) is allowed a quota of eight (8) delegates. They will be registered as early, only if they register in the early registration period. A further eight are allowed as late registrants, for a total of 16 delegates.

Only eight (8) of the sixteen (16) delegates are permitted to register as early, even if all delegates register within the early registration period. The NMO president must decide which 8 will be early registrants and inform the Organizing Committee and which delegates will be late registrants. NMOs with extra delegates above the allowed quota of 8, must pay an additional €25 per extra delegate, towards the IFMSA Central Budget.

Additional delegates above the total of 16 are allowed in the form of Alumni, Externals, Observers and IFMSA Officials, as these are outside the allowed maximum of sixteen (16) delegates. Delegates must then pay fees according to whether they are early or late registrants or Officials or otherwise. (See fees below). Any delegate, whose registration is not complete by the close of the early registration, will have to register as late.

Payment of Fees

There are two ways to pay for your fees:

  1. Wire transfer to the AM08 bank account
  2. Online, using a Credit Card

Wire Transfers

Wire transfers should be sent to the following Bank:

Account Name: Jamaica Medical Students' Association
Account Number: 404927
Bank Name: Bank of Nova Scotia Jamaica Ltd., UWI Branck
Bank Address: Shed Lane,
University of the West Indies,
Mona,
Kingston 7,
Jamaica
SWIFT Code: NOSCJMKN
Routing Number: 021 00 021
Transit Number: 18465
   
Intermediary Bank: Deutsche Bank
SWIFT Code: DEUTDEFF

NB: It is recommended that the NMO makes one payment on behalf of all the delegation to avoid the excessive bank charges to delegates if payments were to be made individually, as well as for an easier correlation of fee payments from all the NMOs.

Please ensure that you send additional money in your wire transfer, in excess of the total cost of registration and taxes for your delegation. This is necessary to cover the cost of the various wire transfer fees charged to the transaction as the money is moved through various banks to get to Jamaica.

Failure to do so will result in less money reaching Jamaica than the cost of your delegation's registration. If the sum of money that arrives into our account is below the fees owed to us, your NMO will have one or more delegates not fully registered.

If more money arrives into our account than is owed to us by the NMO, a refund of the difference will be given on arrival in Jamaica.

Proof of payment will be required. This is necessary to match payments coming into our account from all over the world. You must do this by uploading a scanned copy of the bank wire transfer via the registration software.

Online Credit Card Payments

There will also be an online e-commerce payment option to facilitate credit card payments. The fees paid via this payment option will attract a 5% commission charge by the company providing the service to JAMSA.

Online Payments for GA Fees are made through your Control Panel. To make a payment, log and navigate to the Payments Page. The directions there will guide you how to make a successful payment.

Any problems, don't hesitate to contact the Telecommunications Sub-Committee at telecomm@jamaicaam08.org
