Travel information
General information to help you prepare for your travel
Visa and entry
Croatia is a Member State of the European Union, and on 1 January 2023, it also became part of the Schengen Area. Travellers from other Schengen countries do not need to show their identity card or passport when travelling to or from Croatia, provided that they come from countries belonging to the Schengen Area.
All participants attending the Conference are required to have a valid passport or ID card and, if necessary, a visa. Visa applications should be submitted to the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in the participant’s country of residence, with reference to the Q2026 Conference.
Information regarding the visa regime for Croatia is available on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Republic of Croatia or by contacting Croatian consular offices worldwide, listed here: MVEP – Croatian consular offices around the world. In general, citizens of European countries, regardless of whether their countries are EU Member States or not, do not require a visa to travel to Croatia. The only exceptions are the Russian Federation, Belarus, and the Republic of Türkiye. Citizens of most non-European countries will generally need to obtain a visa, in accordance with agreements concluded between Croatia and their respective countries. Information about the Croatian visa regime is available here: MVEP – Overview of the visa regime.
If necessary, the Croatian Bureau of Statistics can provide a letter of invitation to facilitate obtaining a visa. Please indicate this requirement on the registration form or contact the Organising Team at Q2026HR@dzs.hr
Letters of invitation
A letter of invitation is required to apply for a visa. Upon request, letters of invitation will be provided to the authors and presenters of accepted papers, presentations, and posters, as well as keynote speakers, trainers, chairpersons, and attendees of the European Conference on Quality in Official Statistics (Q2026) who have completed their registration and payment process. After the registration and payment process have been completed, a letter of invitation may be requested. With this letter, participants will be able to obtain a visa for the period of the Q2026 Conference.
Emergencies
The organiser does not provide any medical, travel, or personal insurance. Participants are expected to cover any medical expenses incurred during their stay in Croatia.
Therefore, it is highly recommended that participants obtain an insurance policy covering medical expenses in Croatia and elsewhere during their travel. Participants requesting an entry visa will also be required to submit proof of medical insurance. EU citizens should have the European Health Insurance Card.
The organiser will not accept any liability for damages and/or losses of any kind that may be incurred by conference participants or by any persons accompanying them during official events.
