FIAP have recognised that changes to the rules for the application of MFIAP were introduced at short notice and could adversely affect those who are already working towards application for MFIAP.

The new rules for 2026 require applicants for MFIAP to have achieved EFIAP/platinum to qualify for application for MFIAP whereas previously the applicant was only required to have achieved EFIAP.

Those who have already achieved EFIAP but not EFIAP/p are invited to apply for MFIAP as soon as possible. The closing date for receipt of such applications is 1st December 2025.

If you would like to apply for MFIAP please contact your FIAP Liaison Officer as soon as possible as there are processes to be completed before the application can be submitted to FIAP by the FIAP Liaison Officer.
