Slovenia Visa for Kenya Citizens 2026

Visa Required

Kenyan citizens require a Schengen Type C visa to visit Slovenia, applied for in advance through the Slovenian Embassy or an authorized visa centre, since short tourist and business stays fall under the standard Schengen visa framework.

Guide last updated September 25, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 3 months beyond the intended departure from the Schengen area, issued within the last 10 years, with 2 blank pages
  • Completed Schengen visa application form
  • Confirmed round-trip flight itinerary and hotel bookings for the full trip
  • Financial proof: bank statements showing at least EUR 50-70 per day of stay
  • Two passport photos, 35mm x 45mm, white background, taken within the last 6 months
  • Biometrics: fingerprints and digital photo captured in person at the visa application centre or embassy
  • Travel health insurance: mandatory, minimum EUR 30,000 coverage valid across the whole Schengen area

Visa types

  • Schengen Type C Tourist Visa — single or multiple entry, valid up to 90 days within a 180-day period
  • Schengen Type C Business Visa — same validity, requires an invitation letter from a Slovenian company or event organizer
  • Schengen Type D National Visa — for stays beyond 90 days (study, work), applied for through Slovenian authorities with additional documentation

How to apply

  • Locate the nearest Slovenian embassy or the visa application centre handling Slovenian applications for Kenya, since Slovenia has no consulate in Nairobi
  • Submit the application form, passport, photos, insurance, itinerary, and financial proof
  • Attend the biometric appointment in person
  • Pay the Schengen visa fee (EUR 90 for adults, EUR 45 for children 6-11)
  • Standard processing takes 15 calendar days from a complete application, extending to 30-45 days during peak season

Fees & processing time

  • Schengen visa fee: EUR 90 (approx. USD 97) for adults; EUR 45 for children 6-11; free for children under 6
  • Visa agent or courier service fee (if applicable): approximately USD 30-50
  • Total estimated cost: USD 130-150
  • Standard processing: 15 working days
  • No official express option for short-stay Schengen visas at most missions

Tips for Kenya travelers

  • Apply at least 4-6 weeks in advance given the lack of a local Slovenian consulate in Kenya
  • Common rejection reasons include insufficient bank statement history, unclear travel purpose, and weak proof of ties to Kenya
  • Confirm which regional mission currently processes Slovenian visa applications for Kenyan residents before booking an appointment
  • Provide a clear itinerary and hotel confirmations covering the entire Schengen trip, not just Slovenia
  • Extensions must be requested from Slovenian immigration authorities before the visa expires; there is no on-arrival extension
