Medical Insurance for the Slovenia Working Holiday Visa

Written by Volare | May 22, 2026

When planning your application for the Slovenia Working Holiday Visa, one of the unavoidable requirements for the visa to be approved is to have adequate health protection. Below, we detail the consular requirements regarding the health and travel policy for your stay in the country.

Coverage requirements and nationalities

This regulation applies transversally and mandatorily to all eligible nationalities under the bilateral agreements: Argentina, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

For the file to be accepted, you must present an international medical insurance policy valid for the entire Schengen area. The required coverage must meet the following technical parameters:

• Coverage amount: A minimum of 30,000 euros.

• Scope: It must explicitly include hospitalization, emergency care, and medical repatriation or repatriation of mortal remains.

• Duration: It must be mandatory for the exact 12 months of permitted stay in the Republic of Slovenia.

Policy validity conditions

This protection must provide uninterrupted coverage from the first day of entry into the country until the exact moment of your departure, protecting the traveler financially against accidents, sudden illnesses, or the need to be urgently transferred to their place of origin.

Whether the main objective of your trip focuses on touring the region, working temporarily, or taking advantage of the time exploring the local academic offer, the official certificate of this insurance must be attached to the main file. It is highly important to emphasize that the policy must be paid in full for the entire year at the time of attending the consular appointment; authorities do not accept insurance with monthly premium payments subject to cancellation.
