Rules can change: confirm on the official site before you travel. imptbalearic.es is a hotel and travel site; it does not issue visas.
Slovenian citizens do not need a visa to enter Spain, including the Balearic Islands of Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera. As EU citizens, you travel under free movement rules. Carry a valid identity card or passport. For stays up to 90 days, no permit is needed. Longer stays, work or study require separate arrangements.
What this means in practice
As a Slovenian citizen, you are not a third-country national under EU visa rules. You can enter Spain with a valid national identity card or passport. No visa is required for short visits to the Schengen area, which includes Spain and the Balearic Islands.
The same right applies across the Schengen area. You can move freely between Spain and other member states. Border checks are minimal, but you must carry your travel document at all times. Keep it safe during your stay.
Before travel and at the border
Check your identity card or passport is valid for the whole trip. The general Schengen rule is that a passport must be valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure and issued within the previous ten years. An identity card is accepted for EU citizens.
At the border, show your document to the officer. You may be asked about your stay and accommodation. Answer clearly. No visa stamp is placed in your passport. Entry is normally quick and straightforward.
Arriving on the islands
Ibiza Airport (IBZ) and Menorca Airport (MAH) receive flights from Slovenia and other EU countries. Formentera has no airport. Fly to Ibiza, then take a ferry to La Savina. Mallorca is a transit point only for connecting flights or ferries; this site does not cover it.
On arrival, follow standard EU entry procedures. Your identity card or passport is enough. Keep your boarding pass or ferry ticket handy. No additional visa paperwork is needed for short stays.
Staying longer, working or studying
For stays over 90 days, you need a national visa or residence permit. This applies if you plan to work, study, or live in Spain. Apply through the Spanish consulate in Slovenia before you travel.
Check the official Spanish government website for current requirements. Processing times and conditions change. Start the application well in advance. The tourist visa rules do not cover long-term stays.
