Questions

Slovenia visa FAQ

Does Slovenia ask for a flight reservation for a visa?

Yes. The embassy checklist lists a flight reservation of a return or round ticket as proof of means of transport. It also states that purchasing flight tickets before the decision is not recommended, so a reservation is what is expected.

Is a hotel booking required for a Slovenia tourist visa?

Proof of lodging is required. A confirmation from the hotel or other establishment is accepted, as is a host's invitation, sponsorship form or letter of guarantee, or another document showing the planned accommodation.

When should I book and apply for Slovenia?

Apply at least 15 calendar days before travel, since that is the normal processing time, and allow for an extension of up to 45 days in cases needing extra checks. Arrange the flight reservation close to the appointment so it stays valid during processing.

The VFS overview lists INR 10,000 for a short-stay visa and INR 5,000 for children aged 6 to 12, with a VFS service charge of INR 2,778. The amounts follow the exchange rate and may change without notice.
