Slovenian passport holders need an e-visa to enter Chad. There is no visa-on-arrival option, so you must apply online before traveling. Processing typically takes 3–7 business days, so plan ahead.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| E-Visa for ChadYou need to get this visa online before you fly – it's not available on arrival. Required before travel | Slovenian citizens must obtain an e-visa prior to arrival in Chad. Apply online through the official Chadian e-visa portal. The e-visa is valid for a single entry and allows a stay as determined by the issuing authority. Processing time and fees vary; check the official portal for current details. | Required |
| Passport validityYour passport must not expire soon – it needs to be valid for half a year after you arrive. At least 6 months remaining | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Chad. Ensure your passport meets this requirement before applying for the e-visa. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesYou need an empty page in your passport for the border officer to stamp. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must contain at least one blank page for the entry stamp. It's wise to have more than one blank page in case of additional stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketIt's a good idea to have a ticket out of Chad – they might ask to see it. May be requested | Although not explicitly required by the database, immigration officials may ask for proof of a return or onward ticket. Carry a printed copy of your itinerary or e-ticket to avoid issues. | Recommended |
| Proof of fundsHave some way to show you can pay for your trip – like a bank statement or credit card. May be requested | While not listed as a formal requirement, you should be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds for your stay (e.g., bank statements, credit cards). The amount is not specified, but having access to cash or cards is prudent. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any special arrival form. Not required | No arrival declaration is required for Chad based on current regulations. | Not required |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must show a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate at immigration. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated on the spot at your own expense.
E-visa is the only option
There is no visa on arrival for Slovenian passport holders. Apply online at https://e-visa.td/ at least a week before you travel. Print the approval and keep it with your passport.
