From Jože Pučnik Airport across Slovenia

New Entry/Exit System (EES) at the external Schengen border
Travel to countries within the Schengen Area has been simplified. The Entry/Exit System (EES) at the external borders of this area introduces automated registration of third-country nationals. The stamping of passports at border control will no longer be necessary, as passengers’ time and place of entry will be recorded automatically. Furthermore, the system enables the verification of passengers’ biometric data, thereby improving the security and efficiency of border control. This data is then stored in the system, making passengers’ subsequent border crossings even faster.
Slovenia applies the Entry/Exit System at its border crossings at the external Schengen border, i.e. at three border crossingpoints for international air traffic and two border crossing points for international maritime traffic. As of 10 April 2026,
the Entry/Exit System for third-country nationals is mandatory.
You can also fly into one of the nearby foreign airports and from there you can reach Slovenia by bus, train, taxi or rental car. Low-cost carriers also offer a shuttle service from nearby airports to Slovenia.
Most airports also have car rental facilities, and some have car sharing systems.
