Airport Schengen Border is Now Open!


Based on the yesterday news (30 March 08), Passport controls in air traffic with Schengen area countries were eliminated a minute past midnight on Sunday in Slovenia. It means everyone who hold schengen visa can enter Slovenia via airport as well. This will be in all 3 airports ; Ljubljana, Maribor and Portoroz.

Security checks will still remain in place on Schengen flights, but will be carried out by the airport staff or security service and no longer by the police. The Joze Pucnik Ljubljana Airport has separate gates for Schengen and non-Schengen passengers as of July 2007 when it opened a new passenger terminal. As the smaller airports in Maribor and Portoroz do not have separate facilities, but will use organisational measures instead.

Despite the absence of border checks, passengers on Schengen flights still need to carry a document to prove their identity, either an ID or a passport, just like for any travel within the Schengen area.

Welcome to Slovenia everyone!!!
