In Slovenia there are three appeals possible against a decision on international protection.

The first appeal is before the Administrative Court (Upravno sodišče Republike Slovenije), which analyses appeals lodged against international protection decisions taken by the International Protection Procedures Division of the Ministry of the Interior. The appeal before the Administrative Court has an automatic suspensive effect in the regular asylum procedure and the examination covers both facts and legal aspects.

The second appeal is before the Supreme Court (Vrhovno sodišče Republike Slovenije), which analyses appeals lodged against judgments of the Administrative Court. Decisions on international protection issued by the Ministry of the Interior before 9 November 2021, before the amendments of the International Protection Act in 2021 came into effect, cannot be appealed. In these cases, the Administrative Court’s decision is final and an extraordinary legal remedy is available. If the Ministry's decision was issued after 9 November 2021, the applicant can appeal the decision. The examination of the appeal by the Supreme Court covers both facts and law.

A constitutional complaint may also be made to the Constitutional Court (Ustavno sodišče Republike Slovenije) and the court carries out a review of the constitutional complaint (Articles 54-55c Constitutional Court Act).

The Administrative Court is a specialised court under Slovenian law which has a department specialised in asylum cases, while the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court have specialised departments for administrative cases, which cover asylum cases.

The relevant legislation concerning the first instance appeal, second instance appeal and cassation in asylum cases for status determination are the International Protection Act, the Administrative Disputes Act, the Civil Procedure Act and the Constitutional Court Act.
