What you need

  • Passport: Must be valid for at least three months beyond your intended stay in Slovenia and the Schengen Area, issued within the last 10 years, and have at least two blank pages.
  • Application Form: Completed Schengen visa application form, signed by the applicant.
  • Financial Proof: Bank statements for the last 3-6 months showing sufficient funds to cover your stay. A minimum of €45 per day of stay is generally recommended, but official amounts can vary. Proof of steady income (salary slips) is also beneficial.
  • Accommodation: Confirmed hotel bookings or an invitation letter from a host in Slovenia, if applicable, detailing the address and duration of stay.
  • Return Ticket: A confirmed return flight reservation (not necessarily paid for at this stage) showing travel back to Angola or your country of legal residence.
  • Photographs: Two recent passport-sized photographs (3.5cm x 4.5cm) with a white background, taken within the last six months, showing full facial features.
  • Biometrics: Fingerprints and a digital photograph will be collected. This is usually done at the visa application center (e.g., VFS Global) or the Embassy/Consulate when submitting your application.
  • Travel Health Insurance: Mandatory. Must cover emergency medical expenses, hospitalization, and repatriation with a minimum coverage of €30,000 for the entire Schengen area and for the duration of your stay.

How to apply

  • Locate the competent Embassy or Consulate of Slovenia in Angola, or the authorized visa application center (commonly VFS Global).
  • Book an appointment online through the Embassy's or VFS Global's website.
  • Complete the Schengen visa application form accurately.
  • Gather all required supporting documents as per the checklist provided by the Embassy/VFS.
  • Attend your appointment to submit the application, pay the visa fee and service fee, and provide biometrics.
  • If required, attend a visa interview.
  • Track your application status online if available.
  • Collect your passport and decision from the submission center or have it couriered (if service is offered).

Fees & processing time

  • Visa Fee: €80 for adults for a standard Schengen visa. Reduced fee of €40 for children aged 6-12 years. Children under 6 are exempt.
  • VFS Global Service Fee: Approximately €30-€40 per application, subject to change.
  • Total Cost Estimate: Approximately €110-€120 per adult.
  • Standard Processing Time: Typically 15 working days from the date of submission, but can take up to 45 days in specific cases or during peak seasons.
  • Express/Priority Option: Not officially guaranteed for Schengen visas, but some Embassies might offer expedited processing for urgent cases upon prior arrangement and with sufficient justification and supporting evidence, though additional fees may apply. Always confirm with the Embassy or VFS.

Tips for Angola travelers

  • Apply Well in Advance: It is recommended to apply at least 6 weeks before your intended travel date, but no more than 6 months prior to your trip.
  • Common Rejection Reasons for Angola Applicants: Insufficient proof of financial means, unclear travel purpose, lack of strong ties to Angola (e.g., stable employment, family), incomplete documentation, and previous visa violations are common reasons for rejection. Ensure all documents are genuine and clearly demonstrate your intention to return.
  • VFS/BLS vs. Direct Embassy Application: Applying through VFS Global (or other authorized centers) is often more convenient due to their established procedures and multiple appointment slots. However, direct application at the Embassy might be possible for certain visa types (e.g., national visas) or in cases where VFS is not authorized for specific categories.
  • Travel Advisories: Always check the latest travel advisories from your government and from Slovenia/Schengen Area authorities before planning your trip.
  • Extension Options: Extensions of a Schengen visa are only possible in exceptional circumstances (e.g., humanitarian reasons, force majeure, serious personal reasons) and must be requested at the competent Slovenian authority before the visa expires. This is not common for tourist stays and extensions are generally not granted if the applicant has already stayed for 90 days within a 180-day period.
