Slovenia - Clearance
Notice April 2022: Russian flagged or registered yachts are not permitted to enter any ports in Slovenia. See news item for details.
There are no formalities for EU registered boats with only EU citizens on board arriving from an EU country.
If arriving from outside the EU, fly the Q flag when 12 miles off shore.
If required to report on arrival, enter at one of the official Ports of Entry. Wait for the officials to come to the yacht for clearance. In marinas, the staff will call the relevant officials.
If no official arrives, the captain should report to the police for passport control, as well as Customs and Harbour Master. The crew must remain on board until formalities are completed.
Clearing Out
An EU boat with all EU citizens on board going to another EU country does not need to officially clear out.
If leaving the EU, then the skipper should the check local regulations and, if possible, obtain a ‘zarpe’ or other official document, to show that they legally left their previous destination when arriving in a new country. This is normally issued by Customs.
A non EU boat leaving the Schengen Area needs to have that recorded with Customs even if moving to another EU country.
Any non-EU crew are advised to report to Immigration. This is especially important if they are leaving the Schengen Area.
Be advised that it might not be easy to obtain a zarpe/departure document or be able to locate the necessary officials.
