What are the rules to enter this country from an EU Member State or Schengen Associated country?
Entering this country with the EU Digital COVID certificate
Information not yet available.
Entering this country without the EU Digital COVID certificate or with a certificate not compliant with national requirements
Slovenia adopts its own national classification of risk areas, hence travel restrictions for Slovenia are not based on the common "EU Traffic Lights" map.
All countries that are not explicitly listed on the red list are considered to be at low risk of infection. Travellers arriving from these countries (or their administrative units) may enter Slovenia without being subject to testing and quarantine requirements.
Countries (or administrative units of countries) with an unstable epidemiological situation are included on the red list. Travellers entering Slovenia from these countries are required to remain in quarantine for a period of 10 days.
Travellers from a "red" country will be exempted from the quarantine requirement if, when they cross the border, they present either:
- a negative PCR test for COVID-19 not older than 48 hours, taken in an EU Member State, a Schengen Area Member State, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Israel or Russia, at category A checkpoints for international air transport (negative PCR test results issued in Serbia and Turkey are also recognised);
- a positive PCR test result older than 10 days and not older than 6 months, or a medical certificate of recovery from COVID-19 (if no more than 6 months have elapsed since the beginning of symptoms);
- a certificate of vaccination against COVID-19, which proves that:
- at least 7 days have passed since the second dose of the Comirnaty vaccine by BioNTech/Pfizer,
- at least 14 days have passed since the second dose of the vaccine by Moderna,
- at least 21 days have passed since the first dose of the Vaxzevria vaccine by AstraZeneca,
- at least 14 days have passed since the dose of the Janssen vaccine by Johnson & Johnson,
- at least 21 days have passed since the first dose of the Covishield vaccine by the Serum Institute of India/AstraZeneca,

- at least 14 days have passed since the second dose of the CoronaVac vaccine by Sinovac Biotech,
- at least 14 days have passed since the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by Sinopharm.
The entry without quarantine also applies to those who recovered from COVID-19 and who were vaccinated with at least one dose of an approved vaccine no later than 8 months after they tested positive with a PCR test, or contracted symptoms. Appropriate protection in this case is ensured immediately after the vaccination (on the day of vaccination). Accepted as an appropriate proof upon entry is a combination of:
- proof of vaccination with at least one dose and a positive PCR test, or
- proof of vaccination with at least one dose and a medical certificate of convalescence from Covid-19.

May I transit this country?
Partially
Persons transiting the territory of the Republic of Slovenia and exiting the Republic of Slovenia within 12 hours of entry are exempted from the quarantine and testing requirements.
"Transit" means that a person must leave Slovenia within 12 hours, and their travel must be accomplished without unnecessary and redundant stopping and leaving the transit route.
Passengers can make necessary stops in transit, i.e. for refuelling and resting for physiological needs, but they cannot stay overnight.
"Transit within the 6-hour period" applies to persons who are under quarantine orders issued by other countries, following close contact with a person infected with Covid-19, who wish to spend their quarantine in another country and do not show any signs of infection.

General measures
General measures against coronavirus infection.
Use of facemasks
Masks or other forms of protection covering mouth and nose are mandatory (from age 6 and over):
- in all closed public spaces,
- on public transport,
- in open public spaces or outside and in personal vehicles.
Several exemptions exist
Indoor and outdoor meetings, public or private gatherings and events
Private gatherings of a maximum of 50 persons are permitted, unless they are close family members or share the same household.
Public events and public gatherings are permitted when the organiser is known and subject to the conditions prescribed by Public Assembly Act. The following restrictions are to be taken into account:
- the number of persons in enclosed spaces is limited to one participant per 10 square metres (more participants in the case of persons sharing the same household), and no more than 50 participants in total,
- the number of persons outdoors is limited to one participant per 10 square metres (more participants in the case of persons sharing the same household), and no more than 50 participants in total,
- the distance between participants must be at least 1.5 metres, except between persons sharing the same household,

Partially
In religious ceremonies, services, prayers and other religious practices, the number of persons in enclosed spaces is limited to 50% of seating capacity, and up to 50 participants outdoors.
The distance between participants must be at least 1.5 metres at all times, except between persons from the same household.
Quarantine
A person who has been in close contact with another person who tested positive in a coronavirus test, or came from abroad (from a red-listed country), must limit their contact with other people. This means that the healthy person must quarantine themselves at home, i.e. self-isolate at their permanent, temporary, or other address of residence. The quarantine lasts 10 days from the last high-risk contact, or from entering Slovenia. The purpose of the quarantine at home is to prevent the spread of infection.
An epidemiologist will instruct the person who tested positive in the coronavirus test to inform all those with whom the person has been in close contact. If the person has installed the mobile application #OstaniZdrav, then the person shall enter the TAN code received from the epidemiologist, after which all the other contacts who have the application installed will be informed about the contact risk.
All those who have been informed that they have been in close contact with an infected person (both directly from the infected person, as well as via the mobile application #OstaniZdrav), must stay home and act in line with the NIJZ instructions on quarantine at home.

EU Digital COVID Certificates
This country is in the technical testing phase to connect to the EU Digital COVID certificate Gateway
Information on "EU Digital COVID Certificates" issued in Slovenia
_________
The "EU Digital COVID Certificate" (available from 1 July 2021) provides proof that a person has either:
- been vaccinated against COVID-19 (vaccine type and manufacturer, number of doses, date of vaccination);
- received a negative test result, PCR or rapid antigen, with the name of the test, date and time of test, test centre and result (self-tests are not valid);
- recovered from COVID-19.
When travelling, holders of the "EU Digital COVID Certificate" will have the same rights as citizens of the visited Member State who have been vaccinated, tested or recovered.
The certificate provides a standardised recognition of the holder's status related to vaccination, recovery from COVID or test result. Each country continues to be responsible for the definition of its own entry requirements and rules, which are not standardised at the EU level. This means that what you will be eligible for, upon presentation of this certificate, depends on the measures and entry rules in place at your country of destination.
How does it work:
- Member States issue a certificate automatically or upon request, which is issued either digitally or on paper, and has a QR code with an electronic signature;
- Citizens store the certificate in their digital app or wallet and can use it when they travel;
- When the verifier asks the citizen for the certificate, the QR code is shown and the digital signature is verified.
