Third-country Nationals
A national of a third country who wishes to enter and reside in the Republic of Slovenia for
the purposes of a tourist, business, personal or other type of visit should obtain a visa at a di-
plomatic mission or consular post of the Republic of Slovenia prior to their entering the co-
untry, unless they come from a group of countries which do not require a visa or if they are
already in possession of visa type C or D or residence permit.
Visa regime
Visa regime applied in Slovenia is a part of EU aquis. It separates visa countries, which requi-
re a permission (visa) to enter and non-visa countries, which do not require a visa to enter.
Slovenian diplomatic missions and consular posts issue Schengen (type A and C) and national
visas (type D). To be issued a visa, a third-country national must submit the required docu-
mentation in person and meet the requirements that are prescribed by the laws. Upon sub-
mitting the application, the applicants should give all ten fingerprints.
Type C
A uniform visa (Type C) is a permission to enter the country and is issued to a third-country
national for a short-term stay (up to 90 days). The visa application is deposited at the Schen-
gen country which is the goal of the travel and not just any country. This type of visas can be
issued for Slovenia by other Schengen countries if they have a valid agreement on visa mat-
ters. Type C visa can be extended in extreme situation that makes it impossible for the hol-
der to return to their country.
