Slovenia visa for Russian citizens

Slovenia’s tourist visa costs €90 at the standard rate published by its authorities. Processing time, as Slovenia states it: 15 calendar days as a rule; up to 45 days if further examination is needed. Longest stay on the tourist visa: 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area.

Slovenia has 2 missions in Russia, with its embassy in Moscow. Honorary consulates, which normally do not take visa applications: Saint Petersburg.

In 2025, Slovenia’s embassy and consulates in Russia (Moscow) received 1,607 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,254. The refusal rate was 4.4%. That is barely different from 2024 (5.6%). Applications rose by 22% compared with 2024 (1,320).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 6.4% of the applications lodged in Russia that year, from 0.9% at the consulates of the Netherlands to 19.8% at those of Malta. Slovenia’s consulates worldwide refused 21.4%. Slovenia was the 17th most applied-for Schengen state in Russia.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Russia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
