Moroccan passport holders need a visa to enter Slovenia in 2026. Since Slovenia is part of the Schengen Area, you'll apply for a Schengen visa, which also allows travel to other Schengen countries. Start your application at least 4–6 weeks before your trip.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Schengen visa application Apply at the Slovenian embassy or consulate | Moroccan passport holders need a Schengen visa before traveling to Slovenia. Apply at the Slovenian embassy or consulate in your country of residence — processing takes at least 15 calendar days. Submit your application no more than 6 months before your trip.Apply for Schengen visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from Schengen area | Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months after your intended departure date from the Schengen zone. The passport must have at least two blank pages for entry stamps. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers at Ljubljana Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel — a return flight or a ticket to a non-Schengen country. Have a printed or digital copy ready. If you overstay the 90-day Schengen limit, you face a fine and possible re-entry ban. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Border officers may ask for a hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a letter of invitation from a host in Slovenia. Have a printed confirmation or a digital copy on your phone. If you are staying with friends or family, they need to register your stay with the local police within 3 days of your arrival. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during the stay | Slovenia requires visitors to show at least €100 per day of stay (or €50 per day if accommodation is prepaid). Have cash, a bank statement, or a credit card statement ready. Immigration rarely checks this for short trips, but it is a formal requirement. | Recommended |
