Visa Information

Overview

All citizens of Kosovo are required to apply for a visa before entering Slovenia and/or other countries under the Schengen agreement.

Before applying, please ensure you understand your particular ‘purpose of visit’. Schengen visas must be applied for at the respective Embassy/Consulate of the country of your main destination. Your main destination will be the Schengen country where your duration of stay exceeds all others. Due to this, when traveling to more than one Schengen country, you should submit your application to the Embassy/Consulate representing the country of your main destination. In case of equal stay, one has to submit their application to the mission of the Schengen country representing their first port of entry.

Slovenia Visa Application Centre in Pristina accepts applications for short stay visas only. A passport should be valid for at least three (3) months beyond the intended stay in Slovenia and there should be at least two (2) empty pages available in the passport.

The Embassy of Republic of Slovenia does not cooperate with tourist agencies in Kosovo and does not make appointments for organized tourist groups.

All applicants, applying for a Schengen visa, must submit biometric data - ten fingerprints and a photo. The biometric data will be stored in the Visa Information System (VIS), which is an IT-system that allows Schengen States to exchange visa data.

Fingerprints are collected from all applicants, except for the following: children up to 12 years of age, applicants who have submitted fingerprints in the last five years (59 months) for a short-stay visa (C Type), applicants for whom fingerprinting is physically impossible, heads of state and government and their delegations if invited for an official visit, and members of royal families if invited for an official visit.

Overview

All citizens of Kosovo are required to apply for a visa before entering Slovenia and/or other countries under the Schengen agreement.

Before applying, please ensure you understand your particular ‘purpose of visit’. Schengen visas must be applied for at the respective Embassy/Consulate of the country of your main destination. Your main destination will be the Schengen country where your duration of stay exceeds all others. Due to this, when traveling to more than one Schengen country, you should submit your application to the Embassy/Consulate representing the country of your main destination. In case of equal stay, one has to submit their application to the mission of the Schengen country representing their first port of entry.

Slovenia Visa Application Centre in Pristina accepts applications for short stay visas only. A passport should be valid for at least three (3) months beyond the intended stay in Slovenia and there should be at least two (2) empty pages available in the passport.
