About the Slovenian Embassy in Berlin
The Slovenian Embassy in Berlin represents the Republic of Slovenia in Germany and promotes diplomatic, political and economic relations between Slovenia and Germany. Both countries cooperate closely within the European Union, NATO and other European institutions.
Bilateral relations cover a wide range of areas, including trade, investment, transport, energy, science, education and culture. Germany is one of Slovenia's most important economic partners, while geographical proximity and close links within the EU support extensive cooperation between companies, institutions and citizens of both countries.
The embassy also provides consular services for Slovenian citizens in Germany. Its consular district covers most German federal states, while residents of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg are primarily served by the Slovenian Consulate General in Munich. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Visa Information
German citizens do not need a visa to travel to Slovenia. As both countries are members of the European Union and the Schengen Area, German citizens may enter Slovenia with a valid passport or national identity card. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
German citizens who intend to live, work or study in Slovenia benefit from EU freedom of movement. However, registration or residence formalities may apply depending on the duration and purpose of the stay.
Slovenian citizens likewise do not require a visa to travel to Germany. They may enter Germany with a valid Slovenian passport or identity card and can live, work and study in Germany under EU free-movement rules. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Different requirements may apply to non-EU family members and third-country nationals residing in Slovenia or Germany. In such cases, travellers should check the applicable immigration rules with the responsible authorities before travelling.

Some procedures require the applicant's personal attendance, particularly when identity verification, biometric data or certified signatures are involved.

Appointments
An appointment is required for consular visits to the Slovenian Embassy in Berlin. Applicants can arrange appointments by contacting the embassy's consular department by telephone or email.

Residents of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg should generally contact the Slovenian Consulate General in Munich instead of the embassy in Berlin.
