We are a non-profit advocacy association for Filipino crew members in European inland shipping. Our primary focus is reclaiming your financial assets.
FISAN is first and foremost a collective body representing the interests of Filipino sailors. We believe in transparency, fairness, and the return of every Euro that belongs to you.
As a non-profit association, we have no shareholders. Every effort is dedicated to the collective financial success of our members.
One Member, One Voice. All members have a vote in our collective strategy and advocacy goals.
There are no registration or annual fees. Our strength comes from our numbers, not from dues.
For public meetings and voting, we use a self-chosen Alias. Your identity is protected from the public and other members.
Official salary data is stored in a high-security internal system, accessible only by authorized claim experts to process your refunds.
We understand the importance of discretion in the shipping industry. Our distinct systems ensure your participation remains anonymous while your data remains untouchable.
Our biggest priority is reclaiming the capital that belongs to you. Using § 1 Abs. 3 EStG, we unlock your full tax and pension refund potential.
