All international arrivals, regardless of point of origin, must generally present documentation that meets one of the following conditions to enter Slovenia:

Proof of full vaccination (as indicated on an EU Digital COVID Certificate or third-country certificate of COVID-19 vaccination in digital or paper format). A booster dose is required if the final vaccine was administered more than 270 days prior to entry.
A negative result from an approved COVID-19 test (PCR test taken within the previous 48 hours or a rapid antigen test taken within the previous 24 hours).
Proof of having fully recovered from COVID-19 (a positive PCR test result older than 10 days but not older than 180 days).
Proof of having fully recovered from COVID-19 and proof of vaccination with at least one dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine within 180 days since receipt of the positive PCR test result.

Individuals unable to produce such documentation must self-isolate for seven days upon arrival; those unable to provide proof of a guaranteed place where they can undergo quarantine are denied entry.

Nonessential travel to Slovenia is permitted for all persons residing in countries of the EU and Schengen Area, as well as those residing in Bahrain, Chile, Colombia, Indonesia, Qatar, Kuwait, New Zealand, Peru, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Uruguay, the UAE, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Nonessential travel to Slovenia is also permitted for travelers from any country who are either fully vaccinated or have recovered from COVID-19 in the last six months and have received at least one dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine.
