Honorary Members are exempt from dues (Article 6 of the Membership Regulations). Membership is valid until December 31 of the year in which the dues are paid (Article 8 of the Membership Regulations). A Regular Member may become a Life Member by paying life membership dues; Life Members keep their membership without a fixed term and pay no annual dues after that (Article 2-2 of the Membership Regulations, added by resolution of the Board of Directors on October 9, 2026). Life membership dues are not yet being accepted. Setting and changing dues is a matter for resolution by the General Meeting (subparagraph 5 of Article 17 of the Articles of Association).
Dues are accepted only into the bank account held in the Society’s name. Shinhan Bank 100-039-015415 (account holder: 대한재활인공지능학회). As the depositor name, please enter your 6-digit membership number followed by your name. Once you have applied, this is shown at My Page (마이페이지) → 「납부 안내」 (Payment Information).
KSAIR does not issue tax invoices, invoices, or cash receipts, because membership dues are not payment for goods or services. If you need proof of payment to submit to your institution, please request it through the Contact page. We will send you a certificate of dues payment (issued in Korean) bearing the Society’s official seal.
