Israeli Citizens in Slovenia: Schengen 90/180 Rules (2026)

How the 90/180-Day Rolling Window Works

The 90/180-day rule operates on a rolling backward window. Whenever you enter or stay in Slovenia, immigration authorities look back at the preceding 180 days. Every day spent in any of the 29 Schengen member states is combined into this single 90-day pool.

• Moving between Schengen states does NOT reset your allowance: Days in Spain, France, Germany, or Slovenia all count toward the same 90 days.
• Passport Validity: Valid at least 3 months after departure date, issued within last 10 years.

ETIAS Pre-Travel Authorisation Status

ETIAS is not yet operational and no applications are currently being collected. The European Union will announce the exact start date ahead of its launch. Once live, visa-exempt travellers will need to obtain an approved ETIAS online (€7 fee, 3-year validity) prior to travel. Until then, entry into Slovenia requires only a valid passport adhering to standard Schengen 90/180 rules.
