Slovenia Tour Packages

Slovenia is in the Schengen area and Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa. It is one of the few missions covered on this site that has kept a direct Embassy route open alongside the visa application centre — and that route works by email rather than an online booking system.

Fee and processing, as the Embassy publishes them Slovenia charges the common Schengen visa fee and publishes the visa application centre service fee separately at ₹1,380, exclusive of the Embassy visa fee. The Embassy pages did not publish a current rupee figure for the visa fee itself that this page can quote reliably, so confirm it when you book. Applications may be lodged up to six months before the intended visit and, as a rule, no later than fifteen calendar days before it. Applicants may use either the Embassy in New Delhi — where an appointment is requested by email to the consular section, supplying name, surname, date of birth, passport number and service requested — or a VFS visa application centre. Under the common Visa Code a decision is normally taken within fifteen calendar days and may be extended where further examination or consultation with other Schengen states is needed. Fees and timeframes are set by the authorities and change. Final visa decisions remain with the relevant authorities. On timing, be careful how the fifteen-day figure is read: it is the standard decision period, generally fifteen calendar days after an admissible application has been received, and it is not a guaranteed end-to-end visa timeline. Further scrutiny or consultation between Schengen states can extend it, and appointment availability, biometrics and passport return all add time on top. Apply well in advance rather than to the minimum — applications can generally be lodged up to six months before travel, and that is the end of the window to plan to.
