Slovenia Schengen Visa Type C

Citizens of certain non-EU countries must hold a short-stay visa when travelling to the Schengen area.

The visa regime used by the Republic of Slovenia forms part of the Union acquis. It comprises two categories of countries: countries whose nationals must have a visa to enter the Republic of Slovenia and countries whose nationals do not need a visa.

Consult the EU list of countries whose citizens are required to hold a visa when crossing its external borders. There are exceptions to the visa requirements for certain types of traveller to certain countries (e.g. diplomats, armed forces, refugees, pupils on school excursions).

Third-country nationals who wish to enter and reside in the Republic of Slovenia for the purposes of tourism, business, personal visit, employment, study, family reunification or other forms or purposes of residence must obtain a visa (if required for entry into Slovenia) or a residence permit at a diplomatic mission or consular post of the Republic of Slovenia abroad prior to their entry into the Republic of Slovenia.

A short-stay visa (C type) is an authorisation issued to a third-country national for entry and temporary stay (up to 90 days).

Holders of a short-stay visa (C type) issued by a Schengen country may, during the visa validity period, enter the Republic of Slovenia and stay in its territory, provided that the total length of their stay in Schengen countries does not exceed 90 days in any 180-day period, or until the expiry of the visa, whichever is sooner.

For multiple-entry visas, the expiry date should be at least 3 months after your departure from the last country visited.
