Schengen 90/180-day rule
Your 90-day visa-free stay applies to the entire Schengen area, not just Slovenia. If you've already spent time in other Schengen countries (e.g., France, Germany, Italy) in the past 180 days, that counts toward your limit. Use the Schengen calculator online to track your days.
Travel insurance strongly recommended
While not mandatory for visa-free entry, travel insurance covering medical expenses and repatriation is highly recommended. A hospital stay in Slovenia can cost €500–€1,000 per day without insurance.
