Schengen visa (type C)

Following the Decision of the Council of the European Union no. 2024/210 regarding the full application of the Schengen acquis provisions in the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania, starting from March 31, 2024, checks on persons at the internal air and sea borders between Romania and the other Schengen member states, including Bulgaria, are lifted, and the Schengen acquis provisions referred to in the annex to the aforementioned Decision are fully applicable to Romania.

The Schengen Area without borders guarantees the free movement of over 400 million EU citizens, along with non-EU citizens residing in or visiting the EU (any person legally present in the EU).

Long-stay visas and residence permits issued by Romania both before and after March 31, 2024, entitle holders to travel within the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Short-stay visas issued by Romania before March 31, 2024, remain valid until their expiration and do not entitle holders to travel to other states, except for the Republic of Bulgaria and Cyprus.

Long-stay National Visas (type D)

In some cases (family reunification, education, professional athletes), the Republic of Slovenia also issues long-stay national visas (type D), which are valid for a minimum of 90 days and a maximum 1 year.

The procedure for issuing a D visa is carried out in accordance with the national legislation of the Republic of Slovenia. The D Visa application is submitted in person at the embassies of the Republic of Slovenia. The procedure lasts from 5 to 10 working days, provided that the applicant submits the entire documentation to the embassy e-mail address before a personal visit and in agreement with the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Bucharest. After reviewing the digital copy documentation, a date will be set for a personal appointment at the embassy.

Documentation of the visa applicant D:

• Completed Visa Application Form (Slovenian-English), which can be found here;
• At least one color photograph in accordance with ICAO standards;
• Undamaged travel document, the validity of which must be at least 3 months longer than the intended stay in the Republic of Slovenia;
• Proof of sufficient means of subsistence in the monthly amount of the minimum income in the Republic of Slovenia, amounting to EUR 402.18 as of 1 August 2019 (bank statements, bank certificate of savings, credit card statements, certificate of scholarship, salary, contract with a sports club in Slovenia, etc.…)
• Travel health insurance for Slovenia (sum insured may not be lower than EUR 30,000). The insurance period must cover the full validity of the D visa;
• Documentation demonstrating the purpose for which a long-stay visa may be issued;
• Certified and translated certificate of impunity, which must not be older than 3 months (in some cases);
• Payment of consular fee in the amount of 77 EUR (payable in EUR). An application for a D visa for family reunification purposes is free of charge.
