Dear owners of houses or apartments for holidays in the area of the Municipality of Fažana, we remind you that it is mandatory to register yourself and all persons staying in your apartment through the unique national online information system eVisitor all year round. Check-in can be made with any device that has Internet access. If you have not done so yet, we invite you to come in person to our office at Riva 2, Fažana with the ownership certificate, the OIB (personal identification number) and the ID card, and to download the eVisitor’s access data. If you can not come in person, then the access data on your behalf can be taken by a proxy holder with a proxy notarized by a notary. When retrieving the data, the delegate presents a ownership certificate, the OIB, a notarized proxy, and the personal identification document (original). In the case where the owner of the house or apartment is a company, in addition to all of the above documents, a copy of the extract from the register of companies at the Commercial Court shall be provided.
