- IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT VISA REQUIREMENTS -
VISA REQUIREMENTS
In most cases, a valid passport is sufficient to enter Slovenia. The participants are advised to check the requirements at the nearest Slovenian Embassy or Consulate. The Organising Committee will assist participants who might have difficulties obtaining a visa, provided all the necessary information is forwarded at least three months in advance.
LETTER OF INVITATION
The Organising Committee will send a Letter of invitation upon request. The invitation is intended to facilitate participants travel and visa arrangements, and does not imply the provision of any financial or other support.
The Slovene currency is SIT (Slovene Tolar). 1 EURO is approximately equivalent to 215 SIT.
Foreign currency may be exchanged at banks, exchange offices, travel agencies, hotels, airports and railway stations.
All major credit cards (American Express, Diners, Master Card-Eurocard and Visa) are widely accepted in hotels, larger stores and restaurants.
There are several restaurants offering national and international dishes (self-service, a la carte, Italian, pizzerias, snack bars) within walking distance from the Congress Centre.
The spirit of the Old Town is created by many antique shops, sales galleries and arcades and the open-air market. Throughout the week normal shopping hours are 9.00 to 19.00. On Saturdays shops are only open until 13.00. On Sundays, when most shops are closed, you can visit the flea market along the Ljubljanica river.
