Visas and Letters of Guarantee

Slovenia is a member of the European Union (EU) since 2004. Citizens of EU Member States, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein may enter Slovenia with a valid personal identity card or passport. An entry permit (visa) is not required.


Third-country nationals wishing to attend ICQ14 should obtain a visa at a diplomatic mission or consular post of the Republic of Slovenia prior to their entering the country. Full information on ENTRY INTO SLOVENIA is available at the web page of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia.

Participants who need visa to enter Slovenia have to request a Letter of Guarantee, which will be prepared by the ICQ14 Organizing 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 Slovenian embassy please fill out this form completely in order to arrange a Letter of Guarantee and fax it to +386 1 4773 191 or send it attached in an email to icq14@ijs.si at least one month before the arrival. The organizer is authorized to demand payment of 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).

To request a Letter of Guarantee, please email icq14@ijs.si after you have submitted an abstract of your scientific contribution to the ICQ14.
