Slovenia
Slovenia travel guide for Canadians
Canadians should confirm Slovenia's entry rules with the Slovenian authorities and the Government of Canada before booking; this page does not state the permitted stay or passport rule as certain. The decision: book flights once those two official sources agree; if you plan to work, study or stay longer, arrange the appropriate permit first.

Entry requirements for Canadians
Whether a Canadian passport holder needs a Schengen visa for a short tourist trip to Slovenia, how long you may stay and the passport validity rule are set by the EU and Slovenian authorities. This page does not state them as certain: confirm them on the Government of Canada's Slovenia advisory and the Slovenian government's entry pages before you book.
If you plan to work, study or stay beyond any visa-free limit, a permit is normally arranged before travel. Start with the Slovenian embassy or consulate that covers Canada and the visa checker tool.
Border officers can ask for proof of onward travel, accommodation and travel insurance; check the current requirements with the same official sources.

Embassy and consular help
This page does not list a Canadian mission in Ljubljana. Confirm which Canadian office covers Slovenia, and its contact details, on the Government of Canada's embassy finder before you travel.
Save the 24/7 emergency contact from travel.gc.ca in your phone, and check whether trip registration is available for alerts.
Costs in Canadian dollars
Slovenia uses the euro. Prices on this site are stored in EUR and converted for you; treat any CAD figure as an estimate that moves with the exchange rate. For a full breakdown by category, see the cost of travel in Slovenia page.
A workable planning rule: mid-range hotels and apartments, a rental car for the Alpine days, and cave or lake boat tickets are the three costs that move a budget most. Check current prices before booking.
| Item | Currency on this site | CAD figure |

| Accommodation, meals, car hire, tickets | EUR | Convert at the current rate; check |
| Flights from Canada | CAD or airline currency | Check with the airline |
| Cash and cards | EUR | Cards widely accepted in cities; carry some cash for small places (check) |
No CAD price is stated as fixed here because no dated source was supplied.
