Slovenia
Use our advice together with your own research from reputable sources to plan your trip.
Entry and Exit
Slovenia is part of the Schengen Area. Singaporeans can visit Slovenia for up to 90 days – within 180 days from the date of initial entry into the Schengen Area– without a visa, provided no employment is pursued.
Entry into any of the European countries in the Schengen Area for short-term tourism, business, or transit to a non-Schengen destination, requires a minimum three months’ passport validity beyond the intended date of departure from the Schengen Area. Singaporeans should have their passports with them when crossing borders, even within the Schengen Area.
As immigration requirements often change at short notice, travellers are advised to contact their travel agent or the Consulate of Slovenia in Singapore (gerald.lim@sloveniaconsul.com) for the latest information.
Safety and Security
Petty crime, such as pick-pocketing, occurs in Slovenia. Be aware of your surroundings and take care of your belongings.
Strikes, protests, and other public demonstrations in Slovenia do occur occasionally. Exercise caution, avoid affected areas, monitor developments through the local news, and heed the advice of the local authorities.
Local Laws
It is a requirement to carry identification at all times.
It is mandatory to register with the police within three days of your arrival in Slovenia. This should be arranged by your hotel or host.
Do not jaywalk as there are heavy on-the-spot fines for jaywalking.
Driving: It is mandatory to purchase an e-vignette before using Slovenian motorways/expressways. E-vignettes can be obtained via DARS outlets and other authorised sellers. Headlights must be switched on at all times, even during the day. Winter equipment (e.g. snow chains, and snow tyres) are mandatory from 15 November to 15 March, and when there are winter weather road conditions.
Additional Information
There is a risk of tick-borne encephalitis, a viral disease that affects the central nervous system, and a high risk of measles in Slovenia. See your doctor for advice on appropriate vaccinations before you travel. Take precautions against insect bites. Purchase comprehensive travel insurance before departure.
Western Slovenia may experience occasional tremors as it is on an earthquake fault line. Slovenia experiences extreme winter weather which can affect infrastructure and access to certain regions. Monitor the local news and comply with the instructions of the local authorities.
