Slovenian passport holders can visit the Philippines for tourism or business without a visa for up to 30 days. This visa-free entry is valid for stays of 30 days or less, and you just need to show up with the right documents at immigration. As of 2026, this policy remains in place with no changes expected.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from the Philippines | Your passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Airlines at Ljubljana and connecting hubs will check this before boarding — no exceptions. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Philippines | Immigration officers at NAIA Terminal 1, 2, and 3 routinely ask for a confirmed onward ticket within 30 days. Budget airlines like Cebu Pacific and AirAsia enforce this at check-in — have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a confirmed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in the Philippines. Immigration may ask for the address where you'll stay — a booking confirmation on your phone works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Carry at least PHP 10,000 (around €170) in cash or have a bank statement showing available funds. Immigration rarely asks, but if they do, they want to see you're not planning to work illegally. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Immigration will check that your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. If it's close, renew before you go. No exceptions.
No visa extension available
The 30-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. If you need more time, apply for a tourist visa before departure or leave and re-enter.
