Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Chad eVisa at e-visa.td before departure. Processing takes 3–5 business days, and you need a digital passport photo and payment card ready. Print the approval letter and carry it with your passport to present at N'Djamena immigration.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for entire stay | Your Slovenian passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Chad. Immigration at N'Djamena airport checks this strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Chad immigration requires proof of a return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Airlines also check this at check-in — have a printed itinerary or e-ticket ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration officers may ask for a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Chad. Have a printed copy of your booking confirmation or host's contact details handy. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | You may be asked to show you have enough money for your stay — around 100,000 CFA francs (€150) per day is a safe benchmark. Carry a bank statement or a credit card with a visible limit. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must show a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate at immigration. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated on the spot at your own expense.
E-visa is the only option
There is no visa on arrival for Slovenian passport holders. Apply online at https://e-visa.td/ at least a week before you travel. Print the approval and keep it with your passport.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for your e-visa online
Go to the official Chad e-visa portal (https://e-visa.td/). Fill in your personal details, passport info, and travel dates. Upload a scanned copy of your passport bio page and a passport-sized photo. Pay the visa fee by credit card. Processing usually takes 3–7 business days.
2
Receive and print your visa approval
Once approved, you'll get an email with your visa document. Print it out — you'll need to show it at check-in and on arrival in Chad. Save a digital copy on your phone as backup.
3
Prepare your documents for travel
Before you leave, gather: your printed visa approval, passport (valid 6+ months), return ticket confirmation, first-night hotel booking, and travel insurance. Keep them together in a folder you can access easily.
4
Arrive at N'Djamena International Airport
When you land, head to immigration. Present your passport, printed visa approval, and return ticket. The officer may ask for your hotel address. The process is straightforward but can be slow — expect a 15–30 minute wait.
