Arriving from countries on the orange (former yellow) list and red list: NO quarantine or negative Covid-19 test: students can enter as one of the 12 exceptions without quarantine or negative covid-19 test.

6. Health insurance: International students coming from EU and EEA member countries and Switzerland have free access to emergency or necessary healthcare services during their temporary residence in the Republic of Slovenia upon submission of evidence of their status: the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or a certificate as a substitute for EHIC that is issued by the competent state. This means that the doctor has to provide necessary healthcare services to students who hold a European health insurance card so that they do not have to return to their home country for medical care before the end of their intended stay in Slovenia. Students can access the services directly from health care service providers who have a contract with the Health Insurance Institute Slovenia. More information: www.uni-lj.si/study/information/health-insurance, www.zzzs.si/indexeng.html.
