Individual customers: These customers will not be able to get VAT refund from their purchase of event tickets. This is mainly because VAT is a “customer” tax.

Moreover, tax-free sales in the EU only relate to goods/products and not to services received in the EU. Mindvalley events are categorised as ‘sales of services’.

Corporate customers: VAT refunds eligibility for corporations depend on their country taxation laws, policies, their residence status amongst many other rules that apply towards VAT refund and processing. Several websites such as this -> Click here act as a good reference check on the process. We also recommend checking with your local tax authorities and familiarising yourself with the VAT refund process or checking with your finance representative for the same.

Your chosen ticket, either 1-week (7 days), 2-week (14 days) or 3-week (21 days) ticket, will always activate on a Monday and expire on Sunday. This is applicable to adults, teens and kids tickets.

Location: Google maps

Address: Damrak 243, 1012 ZJ Amsterdam, Netherlands

Participants are responsible for arranging their own accommodation. When you secure your ticket, you’ll be sent information about where and how to book accommodation within Amsterdam, including links to local booking sites, and local rental companies. You will also receive an invite to join our closed Facebook group so you can meet other tribe, and arrange accommodation options together, if you wish.

We recommend booking your accommodation as soon as possible, as the summer months are very busy in Amsterdam.

If you wish to share accommodation, you’ll be able to share your details with our tribe in our private Tribe Facebook Group. Access to this group will be shared with you once you’ve purchased your ticket.

The program will start on Monday, July 13th with the official program at the hub. We recommend you to fly in on the weekend of July 11-12. The Hub will be open until July 31st with the last workshop taking place at the HUB on that day. Consider staying in Amsterdam until 2nd of August.

Absolutely! We’re working on putting together the curriculum and program for nursery (3-5), kids (6-12), and teens (13-17) for Mindvalley University. You can expect to see the outline of the program by the beginning of 2020. There are 1, 2 and 3 week tickets available for all age groups. Please see the question ‘How much are the tickets for family members and kids?’ for pricing details.

Please note: Nursery, kids and teens programs are in English. It’s important that each young person attending the program has a good understanding of the English language and can communicate proficiently. The program is not meant as an English language study programme. The 3-5 year olds group is a bit exceptional as the kids are very young and might not be fluent in a foreign language, but please note that all of the activities are carried out in English.

We aim to create flexibility in the age groups. If the head teachers feels that a child should be moved to a different age group, there will be some flexibility here, depending on availability in the groups.

We have taken your feedback and our learnings from last year and will be creating more space for tribe led activities and sessions from Monday to Friday.

Here’s everything you need to know to help you plan your trip to Mindvalley University

• Foreign nationals from the EU, EEA or Switzerland are exempt from the visa requirement. For some nationalities outside the EU there is no visa requirement either. The majority of foreign nationals wishing to stay in the Netherlands for up to three months require a short stay visa or Schengen visa (Schengenvisum). Full details can be found on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken). Click here for the list of countries whose nationals require a visa (visumplichtige landen) for a stay of up to 90 days.
• It’s important to have quality travel and health insurance before taking off on an overseas holiday. Medical only travel insurance can provide essential assistance and financial protection if you fall unexpectedly ill or are injured during your trip abroad.
• For the Netherlands there are two associated plug types, types C and F (two round pins). The Netherlands operate on a 230V supply voltage and 50Hz.
• The Netherlands has a mild climate typical to Northern Europe, similar to that of the United Kingdom. As a result, summers in Amsterdam are generally warm with occasional colder periods. Rain can be expected throughout the entire year, with spring generally being the driest season. The warmest months are from June to August, with temperatures between 20 – 27 degrees Celsius.
• The native language of The Netherlands is Dutch. Dutch language is not only spoken in The Netherlands, but also in the northern part of Belgium. Many Dutch people speak English and most of them very well. Therefore it is no problem at all for English-speaking travelers to communicate with locals in Amsterdam – in fact, it is the most English-proficient country in the world where English isn’t an official language.
• As in most European countries, the currency of the Netherlands is the Euro (symbolised as EUR or €). Other currencies are normally not accepted. Many shops and restaurants in Amsterdam accept credit cards, but not all. It is therefore recommended to either ask before you order or ensure you have a sufficient amount in cash to cover the bill. Most shops and restaurants do not accept €200 or €500 notes.
• The local time corresponds to GMT/UTC + 02:00 hour
• Tap water is safe to drink. The Netherlands (and especially Amsterdam which has the best water in the country) has the safest en cleanest tap water in Europe.
• Finding an ATM will be no problem in Amsterdam. Bank ATMs (i.e. ING, ABN AMRO, Rabobank, SNS) in the Netherlands tend not to charge a fee per withdrawal. However, there are many ‘independent’ ATMs which do, meaning you could end up paying far more than you have to.
  A common issue for travellers is something called dynamic currency conversion (DCC), when using your card – you’ll be asked if you want to pay for your transaction in your home currency as opposed to euros. Choose to pay in the local currency instead, and you’ll almost always get a fairer rate on the exchange.

During the day, you’ll want to wear something comfortable and casual. Something you can move in. In the evening, pretty much anything goes. Ladies, pack dresses and heels if you are feeling inspired, and guys, feel free to pack a shirt and dress pants if you wish… it’s totally up to you!

You are not likely to need what you think of as summer clothes, like shorts and sandals. Pack jeans or long pants; long-sleeved shirts and tops; and a sweater, blazer, or lightweight jacket for layering. A cashmere pashmina or poncho might come in handy for women.

July is generally the warmest month of the year in Amsterdam, with temperatures ranging between nighttime lows of 13° C (54° F) and midday highs around 22° C (72° F).

Pack comfortable shoes as you’ll probably be doing a lot of walking on the beautiful streets of Amsterdam.

The most important thing is positive attitude, open mind and the willingness to receive a lot of knowledge and at the same time have a lot of fun!
