EO strongly recommends the purchase of travel insurance whenever signing up for an EO event, as cancellation policies and penalties are strictly enforced.

To obtain travel insurance, please contact your travel agent or visit www.insuremytrip.com and click “Quotes.” You should get quotes for up to eight travel insurance products. Please note that EO does not endorse any specific travel insurance products.

Visa Information

For more information about visa requirements, please see the Travel Guide.

EO members are responsible for arranging their own travel in a timely manner for attendance at EO events—including, but not limited to, all immigration and visa-related costs and paperwork. If you fail to receive the appropriate approvals to enter a country in which you have purchased a registration, you will be subject to EO cancellation policies.

EO takes no responsibility for acquiring or monitoring the status of a visa for any member. EO can support you in your quest for immigration approval by providing the following:

  • Letters of invitation
  • Hotel confirmation numbers (where applicable)
  • Connections to the chapter members via the Chapter Manager

EO cannot:

  • Sponsor members
  • Guarantee costs or other monetary-related paperwork
  • Liaise with ministries, immigration, embassies or consulates on behalf of any member

If you require a sponsorship for entry into a country, you assume all risk associated with registering for the event prior to getting approval and finding sponsors. EO cancellation policies apply. EO members are required to find other EO member sponsors on their own, including using the EO Hub or through the EO chapter hosting the event. EO staff will not broker sponsorships.
