Frequently asked questions
No, you don't. Slovenian passport holders get visa-free access for up to 90 days for tourism, business, or family visits.
Up to 90 days per visit. The exact number of days is stamped in your passport on arrival. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
Extensions are not available for visa-free visitors. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a visa or a residence permit before your 90 days expire.
Your valid passport (6+ months validity), a return or onward ticket, and proof of first night accommodation. Travel insurance is strongly recommended but not always checked.
Only if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Slovenia is not a risk country, so you generally don't need it. Check the latest health requirements before travel.
The visa-free entry is for tourism and business meetings. If you plan to work remotely for a foreign employer, it's usually allowed as long as you don't work for a Mauritian company. For clarity, check with the Mauritian embassy.
Renew it before you travel. Immigration requires at least 6 months of validity from your entry date. If your passport has less than 6 months, you may be denied boarding or entry.
