Introduction¶

The eVisitor system is a centralised system whose primary purpose is the check-in and check-out of tourists so as to meet the legal obligation of renters, that is all participants who are required to perform the check-in and check-out of tourists.

The system makes automatic calculation of the sojourn tax and controls the payments according to check-in and check-out of tourists. Based on the aforementioned data, the system displays statistical reports depending on the user’s role.

By integrating the eVisitor system into the CEF project, the citizens of the EU/EEA will have the possibility to access the eVisitor system without the need to collect the user data (username, password, TAN list) from the tourist boards.

The system will use the eIDAS node to obtain the data about foreign citizens who logged in and identified themselves with the credentials provided by a foreign service. If the foreign user has already been identified within the eVisitor system, at that point the eVistor system will automatically log in the user to the system or will try to identify them with data from an additional form.

Login through the NIAS system (eIDAS)¶

Who is obliged to use the eVistor system¶

Individuals offering rental services for tourism purposes, those who have a property used for the purpose of tourism registration, are obliged to use the eVisitor system in order to meet the legal obligations.

The prerequisite is that the tourist board shall in the first place register the user and their object within the system. Commercial renters have the Decision issued by the Ministry of Tourism, that is local State administration offices. Non-commercial renters have a proof of possession of the property that is registered within the Tax Administration.
