A medical certificate must contain a diagnosis, the date of your first visit and the reason of why you are prevented from travelling. The certificate must be issued before the arrival date.

For you to get your refund, the cause of cancellation must be unforeseen, unexpected and of a nature that prevents you from carrying out your journey. This means that if you for instance do not have the necessary travel documents for the journey, it will not be regarded as a legitimate reason for cancelling.
