Slovenia is maintaining numerous international entry restrictions and domestic measures designed to limit the spread of COVID-19 as of Sept. 10.

International Entry Restrictions
All travelers arriving by plane or ship are required to fill in an electronic passenger locator form (dPLF form) before arrival. To access the dPLF form, click here.

All international arrivals must provide one of the following documents, regardless of point of origin:

proof of full vaccination
a negative result from a COVID-19 test (i.e. PCR test taken within the previous 72 hours or a rapid antigen test taken within the previous 48 hours)
proof of having fully recovered from COVID-19

Individuals unable to produce such documentation must self-isolate for 10 days on arrival; this can end on the fifth day after confirmation of a negative PCR test result. Holders of the EU Digital COVID Certificate or equivalent documents from outside the EU will be exempt from testing or isolation requirements.

Nonessential travel is permitted for all persons residing in countries of the EU and Schengen Area, as well as Australia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, Jordan, New Zealand, Qatar, Moldova, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Ukraine, and Uruguay.

Domestic Measures
Businesses must comply with certain hygiene and social distancing requirements. Social gatherings of up to 50 people are permitted. Facemasks are mandatory in all enclosed public spaces, on public transport, and in open public areas where a distance of 1.5 meters (5 feet) cannot be maintained. Only individuals who can provide evidence that they have either been vaccinated against COVID-19, recently recovered from COVID-19, or recently tested negative for COVID-19 are permitted to use the indoor areas of catering establishments, attend certain events, and use certain facilities. Individuals who meet these criteria can apply for a digital certificate online. Restrictions could vary by region; for details of domestic restrictions, click here.

Authorities could reimpose, extend, ease, or otherwise amend any restrictions with little-to-no notice, depending on disease activity over the coming weeks.

Advice

Follow all official instructions. Abide by national health and safety measures. Reconfirm all travel arrangements. Consider delaying traveling if experiencing symptoms associated with COVID-19, as they may prompt increased scrutiny and delays. Liaise with trusted contacts for further updates and guidance. Maintain contact with your diplomatic representation. Ensure contingency plans account for further disruptive measures or extensions of current restrictions.
