What official sources say
The Slovenian Embassy in Washington short-stay checklist (gov.si) asks for ‘Flight (roundtrip)/travel reservations or other proof of intended transport’ showing the applicant's name and reservation number, and a full itinerary if several Schengen or non-Schengen countries are visited.
A gov.si short-stay checklist for Ukraine lists a reservation of tickets or proof of other transport and a detailed travel plan, and says it is not recommended to purchase flight tickets before the visa decision.
Good to know for Slovenia
- Reservations should show your name and a reservation number (Washington checklist).
- Checklists are mission-specific, so use the one for your consulate.
Step by step: using a flight reservation
- Check the official checklist for your application and ask your application centre what they accept.
- Search flights on Visa Flight Pass with your real route and dates.
- Choose a flight and click Book for Visa proof. Only flights the airline lets us hold are offered.
- Enter each traveller exactly as in the passport.
- Pay the service fee and receive the reservation PDF by email.
- Attach the PDF unaltered to your application.
Timing
Airline holds are short, typically from about a day to a few days. Apply while the reservation is still valid, or ask your application centre whether it must be active on your appointment date.
Limits and honesty
A reservation is not a ticket: you cannot fly on it. Use real names and never edit the PDF. Requirements differ between embassies, consulates and application centres, and some ask for a paid ticket. No document guarantees a visa or entry. Always confirm against the checklist for your own application.
