Frequently asked questions
Yes, you need a Schengen visa. Apply at the Slovenian embassy or consulate before you travel. There is no visa-on-arrival or e-visa option for Myanmar citizens.
Standard processing is 15 calendar days, but it can take up to 45 days if more documents are needed or during peak season. Apply at least 4-6 weeks before your trip.
The Schengen visa fee is €80 for adults, €40 for children aged 6-12, and free for children under 6. This is non-refundable even if your application is rejected.
No, the Schengen visa cannot be extended for tourism. You must leave before your visa expires. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban from the Schengen area.
If you're transiting through a Slovenian airport to a non-Schengen country and don't leave the international transit area, you generally don't need a visa. But if you need to enter Slovenia (e.g., to switch airports), you'll need a Schengen visa.
If there's no Slovenian embassy, you can apply at the embassy of another Schengen country that represents Slovenia for visa purposes. Check the Slovenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website for the nearest accredited embassy.
You'll need a valid passport (6+ months validity), completed application form, passport-sized photos, travel insurance (€30,000 coverage), flight itinerary, accommodation proof, bank statements, and a cover letter explaining your trip. The embassy may request additional documents.
