Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Slovenian passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in the Bahamas. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Bahamian law, but airlines may check for at least 6 months validity — confirm with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Bahamas | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket within your 90-day visa-free stay. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they will check the date matches your intended departure. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. Have a printed or digital confirmation of your accommodation for at least the first few nights. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Evidence of sufficient money for your stay | Immigration can request proof you have enough funds to cover your trip — typically around $100–$200 USD per day. A recent bank statement or credit card showing available credit works fine. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in the Bahamas, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it before you go.
No extensions available
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. Overstaying can lead to fines or a ban from re-entering the Bahamas. Plan your departure carefully.

Present your documents

The officer will stamp your passport with a date. That stamp marks the start of your 90-day stay. Keep the stamp visible — you'll need it when you leave.
