For the purpose of this Agreement passport shall mean a regular national passport.

Nationals of Slovenia holders of valid national passports, shall be exempt from the obligation of obtaining tourist visas for a stay in Israel not exceeding three months.

Nationals of Israel, holders of valid national passports, shall be exempt from the obligation of obtaining tourist visas for a stay in Slovenia not exceeding three months.

Nationals of Slovenia and Israel, who wish to stay in Israel or Slovenia, respectively, for a period exceeding three months, shall obtain the necessary authorisation from the competent authorities of the country concerned.

Subject to the foregoing provision, persons benefiting under this Agreement shall, while in Slovenia or in Israel, comply with the laws and regulations applicable to foreigners in respect of entry and residence, temporary or permanent, and shall not take up any employment, whether paid or unpaid, nor practice for personal profit any professional or commercial activity unless proper authorisation has been given by the respective Government.

The Government of Slovenia and Israel reserve the right to refuse admission to persons not possessing a valid national passport or lacking adequate means of subsistence, or otherwise ineligible under the general policy of the respective Governments relating to the entry of aliens.

The Government of Slovenia and Israel reserve the right to temporarily suspend the application of this Agreement, except Article 7, for reasons of public order or national security, by giving the other Government immediate notice through diplomatic channels.
