Visa Requirements /

For citizens of many but not all countries, a valid passport (or personal identity card for EU residents) is sufficient to enter Slovenia. Participants are advised to check visa requirements at the nearest Slovene embassy or consulate. Information on visas and addresses of Slovene embassies is available on the web site of the Slovene Ministry of Foreign Affairs at http://www.mzz.gov.si.

Participants who need a visa to enter Slovenia have to request a Letter of Guarantee which will be prepared by the ERF2016 Organising Committee. The visa cannot be obtained without a Letter of Guarantee which is intended to facilitate participant’s visa arrangements only, and does not imply the provision of any financial or other support.

In case you will apply for a visa at any Slovene embassy please fill out the form below completely in order to arrange a Letter of Guarantee and fax it to +386-1-24-17-296 or send it attached in an email to registration@cd-cc.si to the technical organiser, Cankarjev dom, at least one month before the arrival.

The organiser is authorised to demand payment of the ERF2016 registration fee before the visa procedure starts. Please note that all costs are to be covered by the participant (including verification tax and DHL post costs, if needed).
