Türkiye to Slovenia visa requirements

Yes, you need a visa. Turkish ordinary passport holders must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa before traveling to Slovenia. Apply in advance through the Slovenian Embassy in Ankara or a VFS Global / AS Visa center in Turkey. Slovenia is a full member of the Schengen Area, and Turkey is on the EU's visa-required (Annex I) list. Holders of Turkish ordinary passports therefore must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa before traveling to Slovenia for tourism; only Turkish diplomatic, service, special and official passport holders are exempt from the short-stay visa. The visa permits stays of up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period across the entire Schengen Area. Because Turkey is not a visa-exempt country, Turkish nationals are NOT eligible for ETIAS (the travel authorization launching for visa-free travelers in late 2026); they continue to need a full Schengen visa regardless of ETIAS. Applications are lodged in person (biometrics/fingerprints required) at the Embassy in Ankara, VFS Global centers, or AS Visa centers across Turkey. The standard visa fee is EUR 90 for adults, plus a service charge at the application center, and travel medical insurance with at least EUR 30,000 coverage is mandatory. Apply at least 15 calendar days before travel (up to 6 months in advance is permitted); standard processing is up to 15 working days but can take longer in peak season.
