FGASA Registration and Membership Fees 2024
*Important note on membership reinstatement fees:
If you as a member elect to leave FGASA for any reason you will not be held liable to pay your membership fees and as such your membership with FGASA will discontinue. If at any point you would like to re-enter the industry or become a FGASA member once more, the only fee that is payable on your part is the reinstatement fee. FGASA does not accumulate membership fees over a period where former members are inactive. No matter how long your membership has been expired for, all you are liable for is the reinstatement fee, once paid you will be a full FGASA member again.
