Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your departure from Slovenia | Your passport needs at least 3 months of validity after your planned exit from Slovenia. Since Slovenia is in the Schengen zone, the 90-day limit applies across all 29 Schengen countries combined — not per country. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Schengen area | Immigration officers at Ljubljana Airport and land borders routinely ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within 90 days. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation, Airbnb receipt, or a letter from your host with their address and contact number. Border officers rarely check it, but they can ask — especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have a bank statement, credit card, or cash showing roughly €100 per day of your stay. Slovenia doesn't publish a fixed minimum, but officers expect you to cover accommodation, food, and transport without working. | Recommended |
90-day limit applies to the entire Schengen area
Your 90-day visa-free stay is for all 27 Schengen countries combined, not just Slovenia. If you've already spent time in France, Germany, or any other Schengen country, that counts toward your 90 days. Use the Schengen calculator to track your days.
No arrival declaration needed
Slovenia does not require any arrival declaration or registration for Taiwan passport holders. Just show your passport at the border.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before departure
Check your passport validity (6+ months beyond entry date). Book your return/onward ticket and first night accommodation. Save screenshots or printouts of both. Consider getting travel insurance and a local eSIM.
2
Arrive at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (LJU) or other entry point
At passport control, join the queue for non-EU/non-Schengen travellers. Have your passport, boarding pass, and any supporting documents ready. The officer will check your passport, ask about the purpose and length of your stay, and stamp you in.
3
Receive entry stamp and proceed
Once stamped, you're free to enter Slovenia. The stamp shows your entry date and the maximum 90-day stay. Keep your passport safe — you'll need it for hotel check-ins and any domestic ID checks.
