Is Slovenia part of the Schengen
Slovenia attracts tourists from all over the world with its rich history and beautiful nature. Clear sea, old authentic cities and culture, good-natured locals and fashionable resorts are popular among Russians, but the question often arises in the context of the need for a visa: Slovenia in the Schengen or not?
Slovenian Republic and European Union
European countries are in two major associations: the European Union and the Schengen area. Whether Slovenia is in the EU or not, there should be no doubt: the republic has been a member of the EU since 2004 - it was the largest expansion of the union, when 10 new countries joined it.
Thus, the Republic of Slovenia joined the European Union on May 1, 2004 together with Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.
EU Member States
Having started EU membership together with other countries of Eastern Europe, today Slovenia is developing in many sectors thanks to the support of the European community.
The list of European Union countries for 2019 has 28 participants: Great Britain, Ireland, Belgium, Hungary, Greece, Germany, Estonia, Bulgaria, France, Denmark, Spain, Latvia, Cyprus, Lithuania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Luxembourg, Austria, Malta, Poland , Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Italy, Finland, Czech Republic, France, Sweden.
Which countries are in the Schengen area
The Schengen Agreement covers 26 states. It allows you to freely cross the borders of the countries participating in the agreement, having the necessary permission (for citizens of other countries) - a Schengen visa.
List of Schengen countries in 2019: France, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain, Austria, Netherlands, Denmark, Greece, Malta, Portugal, Iceland, Norway, Hungary, Italy, Estonia, Liechtenstein, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Finland, Switzerland, Sweden.
Not all countries that are members of the EU have signed the Schengen Agreement, and vice versa. The UK and Ireland are members of the European Union, but you will need a different visa to visit them. Norway, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Iceland are not part of the European Union, but are Schengen countries, and therefore you can freely travel there with a Schengen visa. 
Slovenia and Schengen
When asked if Slovenia is part of the Schengen area, the answer is yes: Slovenia was included in the Schengen at the same time that it joined the European Union. Therefore, in order to be able to travel or relax in this country, citizens of the CIS today need to apply for a Schengen visa.
