What people say about us
Slovenia Visa Policy
The visa policy of Slovenia is a set of requirements and guidelines that spells out the rules and regulations for immigration. It indicates the duration of stay, required entry documents, whether the visitor needs a visa, and other important information.
The policy of the Schengen Zone guides the current visa policy of Slovenia. Although Slovenia is an independent state, it adopts a similar open-border Schengen policy because it is a member of the bloc. There are currently 27 members of the Schengen bloc, and their citizens are free to visit each country without visas. All they need is a valid ID card issued by their home governments.
Being a member of the bloc, Slovenians can visit other member states visa-free, while citizens of other member states may do the same. However, the law differs for other visitors from outside Europe and the Schengen zone.
Non Visa Exempt Visitors
A non-visa-exempt visitor is a person from a country that is not on the visa Waiver list of the European Union. Such a visitor will require a visa to enter Slovenia, and this may be a Schengen visa for a short visit lasting not more than 90 days or a long stay visa lasting up to a year and above. The visa must be obtained at a foreign mission office abroad before they can travel to Slovenia. Visa-exempt visitors must travel with passports whose validity will cover the duration of their visit.
To apply for a Schengen or national visa for Slovenia, visit the nearest Slovenian embassy to submit your visa application. This will include your valid passport, completed application form, visa fee, and other travel documents required for the specific visa you are applying for.
Visa application processing takes a few weeks, but within that period, you will be invited for an interview with the visa officer at the consulate. Interviews only take a few minutes. Eventually, if successful, you will be invited to receive your visa to make the trip.
Note: Applicants in countries with no Slovenian consulate may use licensed visa agents like VFS.
Visa Exempt Visitors
Visa-exempt visitors don’t need visas to enter Slovenia; they only need a valid passport and online ETIAS approval. Schengen countries have an updated list of countries they have signed joint Bilateral agreements with. Such visitors are free to visit any country in the bloc, including Slovenia, for short visits without visas. A visa will only be required if they plan to stay for an extended period.
Slovenia ETIAS
If you are a citizen from a visa-exempt country with vids-free access to Slovenia, the rules are set to change slightly in 2024. While the visa-free policy remains, you must apply for an online approval called the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS). ETIAS is an online authorization system established by the European Commission to vet visitors from countries on the visa-free list.
ETIAS aims to control immigration and improve the border security of Schengen countries.
Visitors considered security risks will not be allowed into the region, as their applications will be denied.
Furthermore, many European countries that are not current members of the Schengen Zone will also accept ETIAS from holders. These countries include Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus, Serbia, Macedonia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Only a few countries will not accept ETIAS, such as the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom.
The procedure is done online, so you don’t have to visit any embassy to get the approval. You only need to submit our documents and information online, and the security system will screen it and give you a verdict in minutes.
ETIAS screens applicants’ data across multiple databases to vet potential visitors, and those who pose some form of risk to the region are denied entry. The document is valid for 3 years and can be used to visit Slovenia and other Schengen countries several times in a calendar year. However, they must not stay for more than 90 days in 180 days. ETIAS can be used for business, tourism, medical treatment, and transit.
Key Details About Slovenia ETIAS
Here are a few quick facts you should know about Etias for Slovenia.
Not A Visa: This Online authorization is not a visa, so you can’t use it to remain in Slovenia indefinitely. It is designed for visitors from visa-exempt countries who don’t need visas to access Schengen countries.
Solely Online: The application can only be done online, not at foreign missions such as consulates and embassies. The confirmation will be sent to your email address once approved, so provide an email you can access.
Passport: Your ETIAS will be connected to your passport, so if it expires, the approval will expire automatically, so you will need to apply for a new one. Also, you must travel with the same passport for your trips; otherwise, you will be denied entry into Slovenia or any other Schengen country.
Apply Abroad: ETIAS can only be applied for abroad and not when you are inside the Schengen Zone. If you have stayed in the zone for up to 90 days, you must exit and wait for the 180 days to complete before returning to continue your adventure on the continent. Kindly note that the timeframe counts regardless of whether you visit one or more countries.
