+                <p>The required amount is tied to the current Slovenian basic minimum income. The reference figure the MSOS residence guide used, checked on 1 September 2024, is €484.88 per month for the whole academic year. Because this tracks the minimum income, it can change, so confirm the current official amount with the responsible upravna enota and ask how it calculates the period and which evidence it accepts.</p>

+                <h2>Booking an appointment through eSamonarocanje, step by step</h2>
+
+                <p>Most administrative units take residence appointments through the online portal eSamonarocanje. You can also phone the unit, but the portal is usually the fastest. Here is the exact flow:</p>
+
+                <ul class="guide-steps">
+                    <li>Step 1. Open the eSamonarocanje website.</li>
+                    <li>Step 2. Choose the administrative unit nearest to where you live and study. For example, if you live and study in Ljubljana, select "UE Ljubljana - Tobacna".</li>
+                    <li>Step 3. Choose the procedure. Type "studij" and select the first option if you are a non-EU student. If you are an EU or EEA student, type "EGP" and select that option. To collect a permit that is already issued, choose "vrocitev tujci" (service on foreign nationals).</li>
+                    <li>Step 4. Choose a date. Click "Dodaj postopek na seznam" (add procedure to list), then "Prikazi proste termine" (show free slots) to find the first available date.</li>
+                    <li>Step 5. Pick the first suitable slot. If the date suits you but the time does not, click "Ostali prosti termini" (other free slots) and choose another time on the same day. When the date and time both suit you, click "Rezervacija".</li>
+                    <li>Step 6. Enter your contact details and check they are correct. The mobile number should be a Slovenian one. Leave "Poslji opomnik pred terminom" ticked to get an email reminder one day before.</li>
+                    <li>Step 7. Confirm the reservation from your email within 120 minutes by clicking the "Potrditev rezervacije" link. If you do not confirm within 120 minutes, the reservation is not valid.</li>
+                    <li>Step 8. Keep the confirmation email. It is the only way to change the appointment ("Rezervacijo lahko spremenite na povezavi") or cancel it ("odpoveste na povezavi") later.</li>
