🇨🇷 Costa Rica visa requirements for Slovene citizens

Entry rules for Slovenia passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from Slovenia can travel to Costa Rica for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 180 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

The 180-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Costa Rica, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Costa Rica immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
