Philippines to Slovenia visa requirements

Yes, a Philippines ordinary passport holder needs a visa to visit Slovenia. Slovenia is in the Schengen Area, and the Philippines is on the Schengen visa-required list, so Filipinos must obtain a short-stay (Type C) Schengen visa before traveling. ETIAS does NOT apply to Filipinos. Apply through VFS Global Manila. Slovenia is a full member of the Schengen Area, and the Philippines is listed in Annex I (visa-required nationalities). A Filipino tourist therefore cannot enter visa-free and must apply for a uniform Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) before departure. The visa permits stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the entire Schengen Area. Applications are lodged through VFS Global in Manila on behalf of the Embassy/relevant Slovenian or representing diplomatic mission. The standard visa fee is EUR 90 (raised from EUR 80 on 11 June 2024), plus a VFS service charge. Required supporting documents include a passport valid at least 3 months beyond the intended stay with 2 blank pages, travel medical insurance with minimum EUR 30,000 coverage, confirmed round-trip flights, accommodation proof, and proof of sufficient financial means. Biometrics (fingerprints and photo) are collected. Standard processing is up to 15 calendar days, sometimes extended to 45. IMPORTANT for 2026: ETIAS (the visa-waiver travel authorization expected in Q4 2026) does NOT apply to Filipinos because the Philippines is not a visa-exempt country; Filipinos continue to need a full Schengen visa. The Entry/Exit System (EES) biometric registration at borders is being rolled out and does not replace the visa requirement.
