Slovenian passport holders need a visa to enter Chad. You can apply for an eVisa online before you travel, so there's no need to visit an embassy in person. Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date and have at least one blank page for the visa sticker.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| E-Visa for ChadYou need to get this visa online before you fly – it's not available on arrival. Required before travel | Slovenian citizens must obtain an e-visa prior to arrival in Chad. Apply online through the official Chadian e-visa portal. The e-visa is valid for a single entry and allows a stay as determined by the issuing authority. Processing time and fees vary; check the official portal for current details. | Required |
| Passport validityYour passport must not expire soon – it needs to be valid for half a year after you arrive. At least 6 months remaining | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Chad. Ensure your passport meets this requirement before applying for the e-visa. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesYou need an empty page in your passport for the border officer to stamp. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must contain at least one blank page for the entry stamp. It's wise to have more than one blank page in case of additional stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketIt's a good idea to have a ticket out of Chad – they might ask to see it. May be requested | Although not explicitly required by the database, immigration officials may ask for proof of a return or onward ticket. Carry a printed copy of your itinerary or e-ticket to avoid issues. | Recommended |
| Proof of fundsHave some way to show you can pay for your trip – like a bank statement or credit card. May be requested | While not listed as a formal requirement, you should be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds for your stay (e.g., bank statements, credit cards). The amount is not specified, but having access to cash or cards is prudent. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any special arrival form. Not required | No arrival declaration is required for Chad based on current regulations. | Not required |
Yellow fever certificate is mandatory
You must show a yellow fever vaccination certificate on arrival in Chad. Get vaccinated at least 10 days before your trip and carry the original certificate with your passport.
Print your eVisa
Chadian immigration requires a printed copy of your eVisa approval. Don't rely on a digital version on your phone — print two copies and keep them with your travel documents.
Travel advice for Chad
Several Western governments advise against all travel to parts of Chad, including the Lake Chad region and border areas. Check your government's latest travel advice before booking. If you go, avoid non-essential travel outside N'Djamena and register with your embassy.
What happens at the border

Frequently asked questions
Processing usually takes 3 to 7 business days. Apply at least two weeks before your planned arrival to allow for any delays. You'll get an email with your approval, which you must print and carry with you.
The fee varies depending on the type of visa and processing speed, but typically it's around €60–€100. Check the official eVisa website for the exact current fee. Payment is made online by credit or debit card.
Yes, a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if you are arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Slovenia is not a risk country, but because Chad itself is a risk country, vaccination is strongly recommended for all travellers. Some airlines may ask for proof. Get vaccinated at least 10 days before travel.
The eVisa is issued for a specific duration, typically 30 days. Extensions are not guaranteed and must be applied for at the immigration office in N'Djamena before your visa expires. It's best to plan your trip within the initial validity period.
You will not be allowed to board your flight without a valid eVisa. There is no visa on arrival for Slovenian citizens. If you arrive without one, you will be denied entry and may be fined or deported.
Many Western governments advise against all travel to certain regions of Chad, including the Lake Chad basin, the borders with Libya, Sudan, and the Central African Republic, and the Tibesti region. N'Djamena is generally considered safer, but you should check your government's latest travel advice before planning. Travel insurance is essential.
The local currency is the Central African CFA franc (XAF). Euros and US dollars can be exchanged at banks and exchange offices in N'Djamena, but outside the capital, exchange facilities are limited. Bring cash in good condition and use ATMs sparingly — they are unreliable. Credit cards are accepted only in a few hotels.
