## Important general notes

- Every Nepali-language document MUST be accompanied by a notary-certified English translation — embassies will reject untranslated originals. Use a Nepal Bar Council–registered translator and have each translation notarised by a Notary Public.
- Income proof for Slovenian visas: ANY ONE of the four Nepal-side income bundles is sufficient (Business OR Salary OR Pension OR Rental) -- no need to submit all four. Pick the bundle that matches your active income source.
- Nepali ordinary passport holders MUST apply for a Slovenian visa BEFORE travel -- Nepal is on Schengen Annex I (visa-required nationalities). There is NO visa-on-arrival, NO eTA, and NO visa-waiver agreement.
- Slovenian Type C visas are Schengen Uniform Visas -- valid across all 29 Schengen states on the same 90/180 day-clock. A Slovenian visa lets you also visit Italy, Austria, Germany, Hungary, Croatia, etc.
- Conversely -- a valid + previously-used Schengen multiple-entry visa from any other Schengen state lets Nepalis enter Slovenia visa-free within the unused balance of the 90/180 budget.
- PRIMARY Nepal route: travel to VFS Global Delhi (Shivaji Stadium, Connaught Place) for Type C and Type D applications. Embassy New Delhi adjudicates.
- ALTERNATIVE Nepal route for SOME Type C categories: Embassy of Germany in Kathmandu (Gyaneshwor) may accept Slovenian Schengen visa applications under bilateral Schengen-representation -- VERIFY at +977 1 4217 200 before lodging. Coverage is typically tourist / family / business; long-stay Type D always goes via VFS Delhi.
- Common Nepali sectors: hospitality (Slovenian Alps Bled / Bohinj resorts -- EUR 1,000-1,500/month), construction (Ljubljana + Maribor infrastructure -- EUR 1,200-1,800/month), IT (Ljubljana tech -- EUR 1,800-3,500/month), nursing (Slovenian healthcare-sector shortage list).
