Slovenia is bordered by Austria to the north, Croatia and Hungary to the south and east, and Italy to the west. Slovene is the only official language of Slovenia, with a population of slightly over 2 million people. Slovenia joined the Schengen area in 2007 after signing the Schengen Agreement in 2003.
If you are a citizen of a non-Schengen nation that does not have a visa-free travel agreement with the area, or if you have been denied visa-free travel, you will require a Schengen Visa to visit Slovenia. These visas can be used for business or tourism, as well as for family and brief study visits, as well as for medical reasons.
Your Schengen Visa application will cost €80 for adults and €40 for kids, though in some cases, such as cultural or philanthropic excursions for young people, this fee may be waived.
A Schengen Visa is an official travel document. It allows a person to travel to any country in the Schengen Area. For stays of up to 90 days for tourism or business purposes.
The Schengen area consists of 27 European countries which includes Slovenia. The area mostly acts as a single jurisdiction for international travel with a common visa policy.
Nationals of some countries, which have not yet reached a liberalization agreement will need to obtain this travel authorization before arrival in Slovenia or any other part of Europe.
You must apply for a residency permit or national D-Visa, rather than a Slovenia Schengen Visa if you plan to stay in Slovenia for more than 90 days.
Your long-stay visa must be for a period of three months to one year, regardless of the length of your anticipated stay. You must apply for a residence permit at a prefecture in order to prolong your stay beyond the duration of your visa.
The long-stay visa is comparable to a Schengen visa throughout its validity term, allowing you to travel and remain in the Schengen area outside of Slovenia for up to 90 days in any 180-day period, under the same circumstances as if you had a Schengen visa.
If you are a citizen of a country that can visit the Schengen zone without a visa, then you may travel visa-free and apply for your national visa / residence permit from within the country you wish to stay in long-term.
The next step is to schedule an appointment and gather your supporting documents. The required documents for a Slovenia Schengen visa vary depending on your nationality and the purpose of your visit.
Once you have completed the online form and submitted your details, your information will be reviewed and your application will enter processing. First of all, any mistakes or un-clear information will be clarified or corrected to ensure no issues during any visa applications.
An appointment must be scheduled to lodge your application, but first we will check the availability and advise accordingly. You must gather a selection of required documentation to prove you have sufficient financial means to support yourself, as well as evidence of your accommodation and flights to and from the country.
Because interview wait periods vary by location, season, and visa type, you should make any Visa Applications as soon as possible. Examine the appointment wait time at the place where you’ll be applying.
A Slovenia Schengen visa enables a foreign person to go to a Schengen port-of-entry (usually an airport) and request to be granted permission to enter the country. We can ensure that Visa Applications go smoothly, however, entrance to the Schengen zone is not guaranteed by an approved visa.
A Schengen visa is required for any third-country national wishing to enter Slovenia or any other Schengen country. It could be a short-stay Schengen C-visa for stays of up to 90 days or a national D-visa / residence permit for longer stays in the country.
First, you should carefully review the letter of refusal to see if there is any specific reason why your visa was denied. The letter may state that you did not provide enough documentation, that you have a criminal record, or that you are considered a security risk. If you can identify the reason for the refusal, you can take steps to address it.
If you are still not sure why your visa was refused, you can contact the Slovenian embassy or consulate that processed your application. They may be able to provide you with more information or help you to reapply for a visa.
Then if you feel that the refusal was unfair you can appeal the denial. The visa-refusing Consulate must receive the appeal within 15 days, the Slovenian embassy or consulate will review your appeal letter and make a decision. The decision may be to uphold the original decision to refuse your visa, or it may be to grant you a visa. If your appeal is successful, you will be notified of the decision and you will be able to collect your passport and visa from the embassy or consulate.
This depends on a number of things such as whether or not you have had a Schengen visa in the past or how many countries you intend to visit. Generally you first Schengen visa will be issued for the duration of your stay. Future Visa Applications may be granted for multiple entry for a number of years.
