Jordanian passport holders need a visa to enter Slovenia in 2026. Apply for a Schengen visa at the Slovenian embassy or consulate before you travel. Processing can take several weeks, so plan ahead.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Apply for a Schengen visa | Jordanian passport holders need a Schengen visa before traveling to Slovenia. Apply at the Slovenian embassy or consulate in your country of residence, or at the embassy of another Schengen state that handles Slovenia's visa applications. Processing takes at least 15 calendar days — submit your application no later than 6 months and no earlier than 15 days before your trip.Apply for Schengen visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from Schengen area | Your passport must have at least two blank pages for entry stamps. The 3-month validity rule applies to the entire Schengen zone — not just Slovenia. Airlines check this at check-in, and border officers enforce it strictly. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen area within your visa's validity. Budget airlines at Ljubljana Airport (LJU) check this before boarding. A bus or train ticket to a non-Schengen country also works. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a confirmed hotel reservation or a signed invitation letter from your host in Slovenia ready. Border officers may ask to see it during passport control. Airbnb bookings with the host's contact details are accepted. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Carry bank statements, credit cards, or cash equivalent to at least €100 per day of your stay. Slovenian border officers rarely ask for this, but Schengen visa applications require it. ATMs are widely available in Ljubljana and major towns. | Recommended |
Apply early — processing takes time
Schengen visa processing can take up to 15 days normally, but during peak travel seasons (summer, holidays) it can stretch to 45 days. Book your appointment at least 6-8 weeks before your planned departure.
Slovenia is in the Schengen Area
A Slovenian visa allows you to travel to all 27 Schengen countries (most of the EU plus Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein) for up to 90 days. Your first point of entry must be Slovenia, or you must spend the most time there.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a Schengen visa
Submit your visa application at the Slovenian embassy in Amman or the visa application center they use. Book an appointment, pay the fee (€80 for adults, €40 for children 6-12, free for under 6), and provide biometrics (fingerprints and photo). Processing usually takes 15 calendar days, but can take up to 45 days during peak season.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather all required documents: passport, application form, photos, flight itinerary, hotel bookings, travel insurance, bank statements, and any supporting letters. Make copies of everything. The embassy may ask for additional documents like an employment letter or proof of ties to Jordan.
3
Attend the visa interview
Go to your appointment at the embassy or visa center. Bring all original documents plus photocopies. The officer will ask about your trip purpose, itinerary, and ties to Jordan. Answer honestly and clearly.
4
Wait for visa decision
After the interview, your application is processed. You can track it online if the center offers that service. Once approved, you'll get your passport back with the visa sticker. Check the visa dates and conditions immediately.
5
Travel to Slovenia
When you arrive at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport or any other entry point, present your passport with the visa. The border officer may ask about your stay, accommodation, and return ticket. Keep all documents handy.

Frequently asked questions
If you're transiting through a Slovenian airport and staying in the international transit area, you generally do not need a visa. But if you need to enter Slovenia (e.g., to switch airports or stay overnight), you need a Schengen visa. Check with your airline.
A standard Schengen visa allows stays up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The exact duration is printed on your visa sticker. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
You apply at the Embassy of Slovenia in Amman or the visa application center they designate. As of 2026, the embassy is located in Amman. Check their website for current appointment booking procedures.
The Schengen visa fee is €80 for adults, €40 for children aged 6-12, and free for children under 6. Additional service fees may apply if you use a visa application center. Fees are non-refundable even if the visa is denied.
Extensions are not possible for standard tourist Schengen visas. You must leave before your visa expires. For longer stays (e.g., study, work), you need a different type of visa or residence permit.
You can appeal the decision within 30 days of receiving the rejection. The appeal is submitted to the same embassy. You'll need to provide additional documents addressing the reasons for rejection. There's no guarantee of success.
Immigration officers can ask for proof of sufficient funds. There's no fixed amount, but having at least €50-100 per day of stay is a good guideline. Bank statements, credit cards, or cash are acceptable.
