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 the Schengen area (e.g., to change airports or stay overnight), you'll need a Schengen visa.
A standard Schengen visa allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The exact duration will be printed on your visa sticker.
Extensions are not possible for standard tourist Schengen visas. You must leave before your visa expires. Overstaying can result in fines and future visa bans.
The standard Schengen visa fee is €80 for adults, €40 for children aged 6-12, and free for children under 6. Fees may vary slightly by embassy.
Processing usually takes about 15 calendar days from the date of application. In some cases it can take up to 45 days, so apply at least 3-4 weeks before your trip.
You need a return or onward ticket for the visa application and for entry. If you're not sure of your return date, book a refundable ticket or a cheap onward flight to a non-Schengen country.
Yes, if you have a valid Schengen visa issued by another member state, you can enter Slovenia as long as your visa is still valid and you haven't exceeded the 90/180-day limit.
