Drone rules: Slovenia
Last checked: October 5, 2026
Required from 250 g or with a camera or sensor; registration in your country of residence is valid throughout the EASA area – with a German operator ID you do not need a second one.
Under the Slovenian drone regulation, every drone operator must take out compulsory insurance in line with the law on compulsory insurance in transport. Whether a German drone liability policy is accepted and which minimum sums apply is not officially confirmed.
For tourists
You fly with your German e-ID and your EU proof of competency. Slovenia requires drone operators to have compulsory insurance. Over built-up areas, you may fly in the open category only up to 1,200 g, up to 50 m, in daylight, with the property owner's consent and after notifying the CAA in advance. For Triglav National Park, check flights with the park administration beforehand.
Further rules
- In Slovenia, you complete your operator registration via uas.caa.si with the Civil Aviation Authority CAA – mandatory from a take-off mass of 250 grams, for an impact energy of more than 80 joules, or for any drone with a camera. Family members can share one operator ID, but each must take the competency test individually.
- You only register once, in the EASA state where you live – the EASA area comprises the EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Your operator ID is then valid throughout the EASA area: if you are already registered in another EASA country, you don't need a second registration in Slovenia. Only if you live outside the EASA area do you register in the EASA state where you first fly.
- Under Article 5 of the Slovenian drone regulation (Official Gazette 39/2024), every drone operator must take out compulsory insurance in line with the law on compulsory insurance in transport.
- In protected areas such as Triglav National Park, nature conservation rules can prohibit or restrict drone flights. The exact rules for the park are not officially confirmed; ask the park administration beforehand.
- In the open category, the maximum flight altitude is 120 metres above ground level, as uniformly regulated across the EU.
- Open-category flights over buildings and built-up areas where people are present are generally prohibited. Exception: the drone weighs no more than 1,200 grams, you fly no higher than 50 metres, only in daylight, with the consent of the property owner or user, and after notifying the CAA in advance (to uav@caa.si, 12 hours before the flight). You may fly no more than 10 metres beyond the property boundary.
