Visa Requirements

Slovenia is a member of the Schengen area, and for citizens of many countries, a valid passport (or personal identity card for residents of the EU) is sufficient to enter Slovenia. Participants are advised to check visa requirements at the nearest Slovenian embassy or consulate. Information on visas and addresses of Slovenian embassies is available on the website of the Slovenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Participants who need a visa to enter Slovenia have to request a Letter of Guarantee, which will be prepared by the Organizing Committee. The visa cannot be obtained without a Letter of Guarantee, which is intended to facilitate the participant’s visa arrangements only and does not imply the provision of any financial or other support. In case you apply for a visa at any Slovenian embassy, please fill out this form 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 at least one month before the arrival. The organizer is authorized to demand payment of the registration fee before the visa procedure starts. Please note that all costs are to be covered by the participant (verification tax and DHL post costs if needed).
