This portal will provide you with all the latest inforBefore you start your tripmation and useful links related to the measures taken to contain the spread of COVID 19, as well as the most important preventive guidelines that apply to tourist catering, visits to public spaces, public transport and other activities.
Because of the rapidly changing COVID situation we advise you to check the latest situation and border crossing requirements before leaving.
Slovenia and other EU member states use the EU digital COVID certificate to enable easier travel within the EU. The certificate is issued by national authorities free of charge and it is available in digital or paper form; in both cases it includes a QR code. The certificate serves as digital proof that the holder:
has recovered from COVID 19.
The certificate is not a prerequisite for free movement and is not considered a valid travel document.

Before arriving in Slovenia, we would recommend citizens of other countries arrange health insurance for Slovenia with their national health insurance service and obtain a special form. We also recommend taking out a tourist insurance policy that covers various types of transport, medical care at private practices and similar services which are not covered by the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
There are no restrictions on entering Slovenia:
no referral to quarantine on crossing the border.
Passengers only need a valid travel document (an identity card or passport) and a visa (if required).
Restrictions may have been lifted, but the risk of potential infection with coronavirus is still there, so caution is the best policy. You are advised to observe the recommendations of the National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ) and other measures, and if you are feeling unwell or ill, stay at home and consult a doctor by phone.
In Slovenia, all tourist accommodation/services, food & drink establishments, cultural and sports events, shops and all other amenities can be enjoyed without meeting the RVT rule.
To reduce the likelihood of spreading infection and to manage matters more quickly, we advise you to book accommodation, buy tickets and make similar arrangements online, and use contactless payment methods when making purchases.
The use of protective masks indoors is optional in Slovenia.
While it is no longer mandatory, the use of protective masks in hospitals and other healthcare facilities is still recommended and preferable due to an increased possibility of infections, and the weakened immune system of patients and risk for their health status deterioration.
People using public transport services need not meet the RVT rule and the use of a protective mask is not mandatory (but recommended).
Please use public transport only if you are healthy and have no signs of respiratory infection, in compliance with the recommendations of NIJZ (Slovenian National Institute of Public Health).
Testing for foreign tourists with rapid antigen and PCR tests is self-paid. Check which public and private health institutions around Slovenia provide testing, whether you need to make an appointment and what documents you need to present at the test. Before testing, contact the selected provider and check their testing hours, as these are often subject to change.
For EU citizens who have a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), treatment of the health effects of COVID-19 in Slovenia is provided free of charge by institutions within the public healthcare network.
To cover any other costs related to the coronavirus disease that are not covered by the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), we recommend taking out appropriate tourist insurance.

We realise that now, more than ever, the trust and safety of both guests and tourism workers are extremely important.

Through activities based on safety, responsibility and sustainability, we increase our guests' trust in Slovenia as a green and safe tourist destination.
Would you like to know which COVID-19 requirements apply and which measures are in place at the destination you intend to visit (in the future)?

This tool enables access to data on the conditions regarding COVID-19 (level of infection, positive tests, vaccinations), air regulations and measures applicable at the destination (health and safety requirements, transit through the country, regulations relating to the attractions and restaurants, etc.).
