  • If you have already paid the visa application fee at another U.S. Embassy such as in Kyiv: U.S. visa fees paid to apply in a specific country cannot be transferred to another country. You would need to pay the fee again.
  • If you do not speak English or Slovenian you will need to provide your own interpreter.
  • There are no “walk-up” appointments. To request a Non-Immigrant visa appointment at the U.S. Embassy in Ljubljana, send an email with proof that you are in Slovenia, along with proof of your COVID vaccination.
