Your SI citizenship gives you freedom of movement to this destination under EU Treaty rights and the EEA Agreement (Directive 2004/38/EC). This is more than visa-free entry: you may enter with a valid passport or national ID card, stay without a visa, and take up residence, employment, self-employment, or study with no permit. After three months you simply register with local authorities if the country requires it. Your spouse/registered partner and dependent family members can accompany or join you, including non-EU/EEA family members (who may need an entry visa but cannot be charged for the residence right itself). No onward or return ticket is required.
EU/EEA free movement is your right, but on mixed itineraries (a leg outside the area, a codeshare, or a non-EU carrier) check-in agents sometimes apply generic third-country rules and ask for a return ticket or proof of funds you do not need. Carry a valid passport or EU/EEA national ID card; if questioned, reference your EU/EEA citizenship and the right of free movement (Directive 2004/38/EC).
