Border crossing

Certain restrictions apply for crossing the state borders and these depend on the country from which you are arriving in Slovenia.

The Police has launched a web application called Enter Slovenia to facilitate travelling to Slovenia. It is intended for passengers travelling to Slovenia or entering the country in order to transit through its territory. Using the application is not mandatory.
