Documents and visas: Visa procedures

Before going abroad you must find out whether you need a visa to enter the country where you are travelling.

Citizens of the Republic of Slovenia need a visa to enter into certain countries. Citizens of some foreign countries may stay in Slovenia only with a valid visa.

A visa is a permit for entry and temporary stay issued by the state to a foreign citizen.


Slovenian state authorities may issue three types of visas:

- an airport transit visa which allows the holder to transit through the international transit areas of the airports in the Member States of the European Union, but not to enter into their territory;

- a uniform Schengen visa which allows the holder the movement throughout the territory of the Member States of the European Union;

- a long-stay visa entitling the holder to reside in the Republic of Slovenia for the purpose of family reunification.


Visas for the citizens of the RS


You should check on the website Representations worldwide (Ministry of Foreign Affairs - MFA) whether you need a visa to travel to a foreign country. There you will also find contact details for individual diplomatic and consular representations which you should contact personally to obtain a visa.


Visas for foreign citizens
