Procedure

1. Become a Supporter

Pegasos welcomes support from people of all ages and nationalities, all around the world.

A supporter subscription (CHF100 per annum) to Pegasos is the most effective way you can show your appreciation (in the here and now) for the work that we do.

A supporter subscription is also the necessary first step if you think you may want to request a VAD (at some point in the future).

- Your Passport, identity card or driver’s license
- Your Living Will (optional)
Current members of Exit International (www.exitinternational.net) are not required to have an additional supporter subscription to Pegasos. Members of Exit International are regarded as equivalent to Supporters of Pegasos through the two organisations' unique friendship. The same priority treatment for a VAD request applies to Exit International members as to Pegasos supporters.

2. Apply for VAD

A VAD application is an actual request for a Voluntary Assisted Death (VAD) at the Pegasos clinic in Basel, Switzerland.

You must be a Pegasos Supporter in order to apply for a VAD. Of course, you may become a supporter of Pegasos and request a VAD at the same time (especially if you feel your situation is urgent).

Pegasos Supporters can log in to the website and be guided by our step-by-step online application process.

As soon as one’s application is complete (inc. the initial deposit payment) Pegasos will contact you to discuss your application and, if required, set your VAD date.
