*OVERSEAS MEMBERSHIPS
Overseas memberships are suitable for Corporate and Associate Members outside the UK who join via the FIA Secretariat either because they wish to deal direct or because there is no relevant FIA Regional Office. Overseas members do not receive discounted access to events and seminars operated in the UK or other areas serviced by FIA Regional Offices. As a result the fees for international membership are lower than for full membership.
