From October 2025, the new EU Entry/Exit System (EES) will start for all non-EU nationals travelling in or out of the Schengen area.
The EES is a digital border system which registers non-EU visitors travelling into the Schengen area instead of stamping their passports.
You will need to have your fingerprints and your photo taken when entering and exiting the Schengen area.
You may experience longer queues at borders when the new system starts. You can read more information
here.
Visa
You can travel to countries in the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa. This applies if you travel as a tourist, to visit family or friends, to attend business meetings, cultural or sports events, or for short-term studies or training.
Passport
You must have at least 6 months left on an adult or child passport to travel to most countries in Europe (not including Ireland).
Make sure to check if your passport is valid before you book your trip.
At Slovenian border control you may need to:
- Have your passport stamped
- Show a return or onwards ticket
- Prove that you have enough money for your stay

UK Citizens: A
UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) gives you the right to access state-provided healthcare during a temporary stay in the European Union (EU).
Travellers should be up to date with routine vaccination courses and boosters as recommended in the UK. At least 8 weeks before your trip, check the latest country-specific health advice from the
National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC).
It’s important to take out appropriate travel insurance for your needs. A GHIC or EHIC is not an alternative to travel insurance as it does not cover all health-related costs, for example, medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment and non-urgent treatment.
If you need emergency medical assistance during your trip, dial 112 and ask for an ambulance. If you are referred to a medical facility for treatment you should contact your insurance/medical assistance company immediately.
It is a condition of your booking with Equus Journeys that you have travel insurance which covers you for the riding activities to be undertaken. Your travel insurance should cover you for medical expenses and repatriation. Your guides will require your travel insurance details before they allow you to ride and may refuse to let you ride if you cannot provide them. You should take your insurance documents with you.
