Slovenia Visitor Visa (Family & Friends Visit)
The Slovenia Visitor Visa is a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) issued to individuals travelling to Slovenia to visit relatives or friends. It permits a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen Area. This category typically relies on a letter of guarantee, which can be signed by a Slovenian citizen or a citizen of another EU member state residing in Slovenia, confirming the host’s relationship to the applicant and their ability to support the visit. As with every Slovenia Visa category, the final decision on approval rests solely with the relevant Slovenian diplomatic mission or consular post.
Eligibility
You may apply for a Slovenia Visitor Visa if:
- You intend to visit a relative or friend residing in Slovenia.
- Your host can provide a letter of guarantee, confirming the visit and their relationship to you (a letter of guarantee may be signed by a Slovenian citizen or a citizen of another EU member state residing in Slovenia).
- Your stay will not exceed 90 days within a 180-day period.
- You can demonstrate sufficient financial means for your stay, either independently or through your host’s sponsorship.
- You intend to return to your home country once the visit concludes.
