In case of visa refusal from the country of origin, and on presentation of original proof, the deposit will be refunded, after deduction of operating fees of 150 euros, if the secretary has been informed, in writing, within a maximum of 8 days before the level tests take place. Beyond this date, the whole payment already settled will remain the property of the ILCF.
