• The citizens of the Republic of Moldova are required to posses a valid visa for entering into the Republic of Slovenia.

• Slovenia is not a member of the Schengen Area yet, therefore A Schengen visa does not authorise the bearer to enter Slovenia.

Transit across Slovenia

Since 1 July 2006 foreigners can transit through Slovenia without a Slovene transit visa if they possess:
• a valid Schengen visa (B,C,D or C+D)
• a valid visa issued by a new Member State of the EU (Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia)
• a valid residence permit issued by a Schengen State or a “new” Member State of the EU
• a valid residence permit issued by Switzerland or Liechtenstein. 

For transit across the Republic of Slovenia the shortest route from one neighbouring state into another is taken into account. (For example: from Hungary across Slovenia to Italy) or from Austria across Slovenia to Croatia)

The transit across the Republic of Slovenia can on justified grounds (F.e. car accident, illness, tiredness) last maximum 5 days.

ATTENTION!

A visa is only a preliminary permission for entry, which does not authorize its bearer automatically to enter the country. The traveler may be requested to provide proof of the existence of the conditions of his/her entry and stay in Slovenia and, if s/he is not able to fulfill this, s/he may be returned from the border.
