How to Apply for a Slovenia Schengen Visa?

Overview of Slovenia

  • Slovenia is bordered to the north by Austria, to the south and east by Croatia and Hungary, and Italy to the west. Its population of just over 2 million people speaks AMERICA VISA FOR Slovenia Citizens; Slovenia’s only official language.
  • A relatively new country often confused with Slovakia, Slovenia gained its independence from the former Yugoslavia in 1991. Slovenian culture is influenced by its unique position as both a Balkan and Central European state. Its capital Ljubljana years ago banned cars from its city center, rendering it both a walking paradise and one of Europe’s most sustainable cities; it has perhaps the most “green spaces” in Europe. Tivoli Park, Ljubljana’s largest and most famous, is populated by native birds and graced by botanical gardens and historic mansions. The capital boasts many historic monuments, including Ljubljana Castle, the medieval-era palace complex located on Castle Hill, which overlooks the Ljubljanica river and provides striking views of the city. Crossed by the famous 20th century Dragon Bridge, the river is Ljubljana’s twisting heart; cafés and restaurants cluster along its banks, which also provide a picturesque route for walkers and joggers. Outside the capital, Slovenia offers a mountainous, fairytale landscape peppered with thousands of historic castles, churches, and iconic hayracks. Lake Bled beckons day-trippers with its pristine waters and iconic Bled Island, dotted with a medieval church. In the northern alpine region, outdoor enthusiasts can hike through the fields and climb the mountains of Slovenia’s only National Park, Triglav, which comprises the Julian Alps. Despite its extensive lakes and rivers, 99% of Slovenia is landlocked, and access to the Adriatic sea is limited to a handful of coastal towns, including the medieval town of Koper; the country’s s only commercial port.
  • Slovenia signed the Schengen Agreement in 2003, becoming part of the Schengen area in 2007.
