Travel info
UK citizens can travel to Slovenia without a visa for short stays (up to 90 days within any 180-day period) . Your passport must be issued within the last 10 years and valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen Area .
Travel insurance isn't mandatory but is strongly recommended . A UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) provides access to state-provided healthcare in Slovenia, but it doesn't cover all medical situations, such as repatriation or private healthcare . Comprehensive travel insurance that includes medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and winter sports coverage is advisable, especially for skiing trips.
Starting from late 2026, UK travelers will need to apply for an ETIAS.
