Entry/Exit requirements

Quarantine Rules
- Slovenia has created a list of countries, including the United States, with an unstable epidemiological situation. For those countries, irrespective of citizenship or residence, travelers must undergo quarantine when arriving in Slovenia. Inspectors are enforcing this requirement through random visits to residences of those quarantined. Violators face hefty fines.
- In addition to required quarantine, arriving passengers from these designated countries must take a Covid-19 test, administered within the EU, prior to entering Slovenia. For passengers arriving via air, this would mean taking a test in the transit city.
- The Slovenian government has announced that masks are once again required in indoor public places and on public transport.
