Event

Slovenian authorities are maintaining measures imposed to combat the spread of COVID-19 as of July 26. Since July 15, entry is permitted for all incoming travelers who can 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

Persons unable to produce such documentation will be required to self-isolate for 10 days on arrival. Holders of the EU Digital COVID Certificate or equivalent documents from outside the EU will be exempt from testing or isolation requirements.

Domestic Restrictions
As concerns domestic controls that remain in place, businesses must comply with certain hygiene and social distancing requirements in order to operate. 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.

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.
