Slovenia visa requirements for Indian passport holders

Check your circumstances

Read these conditions alongside the entry rule. Where official guidance does not state a condition, that is not confirmation that no condition applies.

Passport type Confirmed for this scope

Slovenia lists Indian citizens as visa-required. Holders of diplomatic passports need no short-stay visa, so this guide covers ordinary passports only.

Trip purpose Confirmed for this scope

Tourism is a purpose for which a third-country national who needs a visa must get one from a Slovenian mission before arriving. The C visa allows stays of up to 90 days.

Age Conditions to check

The form for a child under 18 must be signed by a parent or guardian. The visa fee is lower for ages 6 to 12, and every applicant appears in person for fingerprints unless an exemption applies.

Residence Conditions to check

You can apply at the Embassy in New Delhi or at VFS Global centres in India. Where Slovenia has no mission, another Schengen state may handle the application on its behalf.

Other visas or residence permits Conditions to check

Holders of a Schengen long-stay (D) visa or a residence permit issued by a Schengen country may enter Slovenia for up to 90 days in any 180-day period, or until the document expires, whichever is sooner.

Carrier and arrival route Conditions to check

An airport transit visa is required only for the nationalities listed in Annex IV of the Visa Code. The Embassy names Bangladesh and Sri Lanka for transit; India is not listed.

Stay and visa validity Conditions to check

A C visa allows a stay within 90 days in any 180-day period, or until the visa expires, whichever is sooner. Count the days with the EU short-stay calculator, and leave by the date on the sticker.

Which visa and where to apply

Apply for a Schengen C visa to the state that is your main destination. If Slovenia is where you will spend the most days, apply to Slovenia. If your days are equal, apply to the first Schengen state you enter.

In India you can lodge the application at the Embassy of Slovenia in New Delhi or at a VFS Global centre. As a general rule you appear in person so your fingerprints can be taken, either at the Embassy or at the service provider.

When to apply

Apply at least 15 calendar days before the trip, and no earlier than six months before it starts. The Embassy warns that an application lodged less than 15 days before departure may take up to 15 calendar days and could be decided after your planned departure date.

Documents and insurance

Bring a passport issued within the last 10 years with at least two empty pages, valid for at least 3 months after you plan to leave the Schengen area. Add the signed application form, a recent photo that meets ICAO standards, proof of the purpose of your stay, evidence of means of support and accommodation, and a guarantee or invitation letter if a host is inviting you.

You also need travel medical insurance of at least €30,000 that covers emergency care, hospitalization and repatriation for the whole Schengen area and the whole stay. The Embassy publishes a list of Indian insurers it accepts and a supporting-documents list for applicants in India.

Fees

The visa fee is €90 for applicants over 12 and €45 for children aged 6 to 12, plus the service fee if you apply through VFS Global. Some applicants are exempt from the visa fee. If you pay the Embassy directly, it accepts UPI in rupees or a bank transfer in euros or rupees, and it does not take cash.

At the border

Carry your passport, your visa and your insurance, and be ready to show proof of funds and accommodation. The EU Entry/Exit System has been fully operational at Schengen borders since 10 April 2026. ETIAS is not yet operating, and it would not replace the visa an Indian tourist needs.
