Preguntas frecuentes

A non-EU, non-EEA national who works remotely under an employment or civil-law contract for a business based outside Slovenia, or as a self-employed person abroad. You also need an income of at least two average net salaries: currently about €3,400 a month.

Yes, if you are registered as self-employed in another country or work under a civil-law contract with a foreign company. Your clients must be outside Slovenia: you may work only for a foreign employer or clients, with no access to the Slovenian labour market.

Applications have been accepted since 21 November 2025, when the ZTuj-2I amendment to the Foreigners Act introduced this permit. Before that, remote workers had no separate ground for residence.

You apply at a Slovenian embassy or consulate; if you are already lawfully in Slovenia, at any upravna enota (the local administrative unit). Lawful presence includes, for example, a visa-free stay, a C visa or another EU country's permit. The difference is the certificate: if you file in Slovenia, the filing certificate counts as a permit until the decision; filing at an embassy gives no such certificate.

A passport and insurance (passport valid 3 months beyond the stay; health insurance covering at least urgent care), proof of remote work (a contract with a foreign company or self-employment registered abroad), proof of income and a criminal record certificate from your country of nationality. The certificate must be no older than 90 days when the residence permit application is filed, apostilled or legalised.

Yes. As for other permits, any lawful source counts: income from work, employment-related or insurance benefits, income from property and capital, support from those legally obliged to maintain you, a scholarship, money in a bank account in Slovenia or abroad. The amount must be at least two average net salaries: currently about €3,400 a month.

The state fee for a temporary residence permit is €50 in Slovenia, €102 via an embassy. Translations, apostilles and insurance are paid separately.

The statutory limit is 30 days from a complete application, up to 60 days if a special investigation is needed. The clock starts once the upravna enota has the complete file.

It is issued for the length of the employment or civil-law contract, but no more than 1 year; to a self-employed person for 1 year, or for the planned stay if shorter. The general rule: up to 1 year, not renewable; reapply after a 6-month break.

Yes: family reunification is possible straight away, and the applications can be filed together. You must show income for the family too: the two average net salaries cover only the nomad; each family member needs additional means. Means for family members must be at least the social assistance level: the basic minimum income × 1.00 for the sponsor, 0.57 for an adult family member without work, 0.59 per child.

It depends on tax residency, not on the permit: if you live here alone and under 183 days a year, you usually stay tax resident at home; if your family moves here, you become a Slovenian tax resident. The difference matters: a resident pays tax on worldwide income, a non-resident only on Slovenian-source income.

Yes, as with any permit: within 8 days from moving in. The rule for foreigners: a temporary address is registered for the permit's validity, up to 2 years; if the permit arrives after you moved in, the 8 days run from its delivery.

Proof of enrolment (potrdilo o vpisu), a passport, insurance covering at least urgent care, proof of means and a criminal record certificate from your country of nationality. The certificate must be no older than 90 days when the residence permit application is filed, apostilled or legalised; a parents' maintenance statement is filed certified and translated.

The statutory limit is 30 days from a complete application, up to 60 days if a special investigation is needed. The upravna enota (administrative unit) handles study applications as a priority. The student or the school can file it, but the permit is handed only to the student.

Yes: possible at an upravna enota if you are lawfully in Slovenia visa-free, on a C visa or with another EU country's permit, and have proof of admission. After filing you receive a certificate that counts as a permit until the decision and lets you stay here to study.

As a rule, yes: up to 1 year, renewed for up to 1 year at a time, but not beyond the studies. The renewal is filed before the permit expires; you can file up to 3 months ahead.

As a rule, yes: non-EU citizens pay a tuition fee (šolnina), including for full-time study. Studying free of charge on the same terms as Slovenian citizens: those who completed secondary school with the matura in Slovenia; non-EU citizens with a permanent address (stalno prebivališče) in Slovenia if they or at least one parent are Slovenian tax residents; people with international or temporary protection and applicants for international protection; citizens of Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia.

It depends on your nationality: candidates from countries whose citizens need a visa to enter the EU have a mandatory interview with the institution listed first in the application; the candidate pays the costs of an interview abroad or online. If the university has good reason to doubt that your knowledge matches your documents, it rejects the application, with no appeal.

No: if you completed studies in Slovenia at SOK level 6 or higher (higher vocational education) or a research programme within the last 2 years, ZRSZ gives a consent to work for any employer and to be self-employed, with no labour market test. While you look for a job, you can get a 9-month job-search permit if you graduated in Slovenia within the last 2 years.

Partly: years of study count as half toward the 5 years. Also, permanent residence is not granted while you live on a study permit, or if all 5 years were spent on one, so by the time you apply you need another ground, such as work.

Yes, on the general terms (with a temporary permit: the last year living in Slovenia on a permit, and a permit issued for at least 1 year; a permanent resident need not wait). Means for the family members must be at least the social assistance level: the basic minimum income × 1.00 for the sponsor, 0.57 for an adult family member without work, 0.59 per child.

Yes. The study permit is not only for university students: it is issued to anyone admitted to a programme leading to publicly recognised education, including secondary school. Means required: at least the basic minimum income per month; a written statement from your parents is accepted if they are legally obliged to support you.

The permit is tied to your enrolment, so you must report dropping out or finishing to the upravna enota straight away. Without that ground the permit can be revoked; before it expires you can apply for a permit on a different ground.

Either: the worker or the employer; the employer files a first application at a Slovenian embassy or consulate or at an upravna enota (the local administrative unit). If the employer files, it acts under your authorisation, and the permit itself is handed only to you.

An employment contract signed by the employer, proof of the general conditions (a passport valid at least 3 months beyond the planned stay; health insurance covering at least urgent care in Slovenia; means of subsistence) and a criminal record certificate from your country of nationality. The certificate must be no older than 90 days when the residence permit application is filed, apostilled or legalised; foreign-language documents are filed with a translation.

The statutory limit is 30 days from a complete application, up to 60 days if a special investigation is needed. The upravna enota requests the ZRSZ consent itself, ZRSZ has 15 days from the upravna enota's request to reply, and the other conditions are checked in parallel.

Yes, if it meets the active business test: at least 1 full-time employee for 6 months, or inflows of €10,000 or more to a Slovenian account in each of the last 6 months; a new company: an investment of €50,000 or more. The company must also have no overdue tax debts and must have filed its payroll tax returns.

As a rule, yes: no suitable candidate in the ZRSZ register of unemployed; the employer can request a notice in advance, and ZRSZ replies within 5 working days. No labour market test is needed for occupations on the labour minister's list, a company representative (zastopnik), renewal with the same employer in the same job.

You must start work no later than the 10th day after the permit is delivered in Slovenia, or the 15th day if delivered abroad. If you do not start and are not registered for insurance in time, ZRSZ withdraws its consent and the upravna enota revokes the permit.

As a rule, no: full time only; part time is allowed with education of at least SOK level 7 (bachelor's). For full-time work the salary cannot be below the minimum wage: €1,481.88 gross a month (since 1 January 2026).

Yes, but through a ZRSZ consent to work for two or more employers: you need education at SOK level 7 or higher, at least 1 month in the first job and an agreement between you and both employers. Without it the general rule applies: a permit issued on an employment consent is valid only for work with the employer that passed the ZRSZ check.

Yes, under certain conditions: the permit is not revoked while you receive unemployment benefit, if you lost the job through no fault or choice of your own. A consent not tied to an employer follows a different rule: a consent issued on the basis of your work history in Slovenia is withdrawn by ZRSZ if you are uninsured for more than 6 months in a row. If your permit is tied to an employer, a new job needs a new ZRSZ consent.

EU, EEA and Swiss citizens work freely. Among other nationals, those who work without ZRSZ consent are permanent residents; family members of Slovenian citizens on a family permit; people of Slovenian descent with a permit; international protection holders and their families; temporary protection holders; victims of trafficking and of illegal employment.

Yes: you can apply in Slovenia for a first single permit for employment; temporary protection ends when it is delivered. You can also work without switching: temporary protection holders have free access to the labour market.

You need a higher education degree from a programme of at least 3 years, at ISCED level 6 (bachelor's) or higher. Experience can replace the degree, but for IT occupations only: at least 3 years within the last 7 as an ICT manager or ICT professional, or an appointed expert's opinion on comparable experience.

Term: 2 years (if the contract is shorter, its length plus 3 months); renewals up to 3 years. The employment contract must run for at least 6 months (previously 1 year), and the card is never issued beyond your passport's validity.

Yes: for a first card ZRSZ checks that no suitable unemployed candidate is available, as well as the employer, the contract and the salary; a renewal after the first year checks only the contract and the salary. The contract salary must be at least €2,536 gross a month (one average gross salary).

It can be filed by the worker or the employer; the employer files at a Slovenian embassy or consulate or at an upravna enota, the worker at an embassy, or at an upravna enota if lawfully in Slovenia (visa-free, on a C visa or with another EU country's permit) with a signed contract. State fee: €70 in Slovenia, €102 via an embassy.

Not with a first card: the certificate for a first application filed in Slovenia lets you stay until the decision but not work; with a renewal filed on time you may keep working. Once the card is delivered, you must start work no later than the 10th day after the permit is delivered in Slovenia, or the 15th day if delivered abroad.

Yes: in the first year of employment through a ZRSZ consent, decided within 15 days; after the first year no consent is needed, only advance written notice to the upravna enota. The new contract must also meet the salary threshold.

Not immediately: the card is not revoked if periods without work do not exceed 3 months (card held under 2 years) or 6 months (card held 2 years or more). If unemployment lasts longer, ZRSZ withdraws its consent and the card is revoked.

The same term as the card itself: 2 years (if the contract is shorter, its length plus 3 months); renewals up to 3 years. The general waiting rule does not apply, and adult family members need no Slovenian test at renewal.

Partly: business trips (meetings, negotiations) to other EU countries for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a separate permit; moving to work in another EU country after 12 months on the card. A business trip means meetings, negotiations and making contacts, not regular work on site.

Yes: after 12 months living on another EU country's Blue Card you can get a Slovenian card; you need a contract of at least 6 months and ZRSZ consent, and can also apply in Slovenia. Family members who lived with you in the first country can move with you.

Yes: 5 years of continuous lawful residence in the EU on a Blue Card (study, research and international protection in the EU also count), the last 2 of them continuously in Slovenia. Years of study count as half toward the 5 years.

Yes, but not at once: after 1 year of employment you may also be self-employed or pursue an independent professional activity on the side. The employment the card was issued for remains your main activity.

The law counts as family: a spouse, registered partner or long-term cohabiting partner; minor unmarried children (yours and your partner's); parents of a minor sponsor; adult unmarried children and parents whom the sponsor must support under the law of their country. In exceptional cases the upravna enota (administrative unit) may also treat another relative as family.

Only in two cases: if the sponsor is a minor who lived with them before moving, or if you or your spouse must support them under the law of your country. Otherwise it is possible only as an exception that the upravna enota assesses case by case.

Yes. On the same footing as a spouse, the law treats as family a registered partner and a partner you have lived with as a family for a long time.

It is filed by the sponsor, the foreigner already living in Slovenia: at a Slovenian embassy or consulate or at an upravna enota. Renewals of the family members' permits are filed by the sponsor too.

The family member's passport, insurance covering at least urgent care, proof of means, a criminal record certificate from the country of nationality and proof of the relationship (a marriage or birth certificate). The certificate must be no older than 90 days when the residence permit application is filed; foreign documents are filed apostilled or legalised and translated.

Term: as long as the sponsor's permit, but no more than 2 years; renewals up to 3 years. A minor child's permit is never issued or renewed beyond the child's coming of age.

The survival-level test is not needed for people over 60; those studying in Slovenia in a programme taught in Slovenian or who completed any level of school in Slovenia; holders of a Slovenian exam certificate at A1 or higher; those unable to take it for health reasons; families of sponsors who need not wait, such as EU Blue Card holders and researchers. All other adult family members must pass it for the renewal.

The rule: if the sponsor has died, or the marriage or partnership ended after lasting at least 3 years in Slovenia, the family member's permit can be renewed once, for up to 1 year. After that, a ground of their own is needed, such as work or study.

Seasonal workers and daily cross-border commuters: the law gives them no right to family reunification. Other permit holders apply under the general rule (with a temporary permit: the last year living in Slovenia on a permit, and a permit issued for at least 1 year; a permanent resident need not wait).

The child is enrolled at the school of the school district (šolski okoliš) of the child's registered permanent or temporary address. So register your address first: this must be done within 8 days from moving in.

Not general family reunification but a separate permit for a family member of an EU citizen, with no waiting period. It is issued for 5 years, or the EU citizen's planned stay if shorter. You apply at any upravna enota in Slovenia; it cannot be filed through an embassy.

The statutory limit is 30 days from a complete application, up to 60 days if a special investigation is needed. If the sponsor need not wait and the family member is already lawfully in Slovenia, they receive a certificate that counts as a permit while the case is pending.

Usually one of three: a d.o.o. (limited liability company) with a natural person as founder, a subsidiary, or a branch of a foreign company. The difference: a branch (podružnica) of a foreign company is not a legal person and has no share capital; a subsidiary is founded as an ordinary d.o.o. with a legal person as founder. A director's work permit is possible in a company founded under ZGD-1 (such as a d.o.o.) or in a Slovenian branch of a foreign company.

It depends on whether you need a permit straight away. An s.p. owner is liable with all their assets, because the law does not separate business and personal property, and the self-employment permit has this condition: 1 year of continuous lawful residence in Slovenia; not needed if you are registered for a samostojna poklicna dejavnost (independent professional activity). In a d.o.o. members are not liable for the company's obligations, the company is liable with all its assets; it needs capital of at least €7,500, but you can apply for a director's permit without prior residence in Slovenia.

Yes, but instead of the active-business condition, at least €50,000 must be invested in the business before the application. The money goes into the activity the director will work in. When the permit is renewed, the company's actual operation is checked instead.

The check is that the company actively operates (at least one full-time insured employee for the past 6 months, or business inflows of at least €10,000 in each of those months), files payroll tax returns and has no overdue tax debts, the director is entered in the register and has a signed employment contract. ZZSDT sets no separate minimum salary for a director, and the upravna enota (administrative unit) also checks the general permit conditions.

It depends on headcount: one ZRSZ consent for up to 10 employees, two for 11 to 50. The same limit applies to a Slovenian branch of a foreign company.

Yes, for short periods: up to 90 days per calendar year without a single permit, after notifying ZRSZ before starting (prijava dela zastopnika). To live and work in Slovenia on a regular basis you need a single permit (enotno dovoljenje).

No. If you are only a founder and not a director, no ZRSZ consent is needed for this role, but residence in Slovenia must rest on another basis. The permit follows work in the company, not ownership of a share.

You need a criminal record certificate and a certificate of no tax debts from the country of residence, no older than 60 days, certified as follows: an apostille for Hague Convention countries; for other countries legalisation by the Slovenian Foreign Ministry or embassy, unless a treaty removes this requirement. Delays most often come from certificates without an apostille and from expired certificates; for the permit the criminal record certificate must be no older than 90 days when the residence permit application is filed.

Yes, but in one case only: a fully online registration is possible only for a single-member d.o.o.: a natural person with an EMŠO and a qualified digital certificate who will be the sole director and pays the whole capital in cash beforehand. Otherwise the documents are signed in person at a SPOT point (free of charge) or at a notary (under the notarial tariff).

No, ZRSZ (Employment Service) consent is not needed for issue or renewal. You need a valid passport, health insurance, sufficient means of subsistence, a criminal record certificate and a registered self-employment in Slovenia or proof of the intended registration.

It may not be renewed, because the permit depends on real business activity: weak evidence of activity is a common reason for refusal or non-renewal; stopping the activity must be reported to the upravna enota. That is why the s.p. needs real clients, invoices and payments into its account.

Every month: payroll taxes and contributions, minimum contributions of €956.91 a month (since 1 March 2026) for an owner-director with no other insurance, and usually outsourced bookkeeping (market estimate: €100-250 a month). Every year: the AJPES annual report by 31 March for the previous calendar year and the corporate income tax return within 3 months after the tax year ends, by 31 March for a calendar year; only via eDavki.

It is important to settle your tax residence status: file the questionnaire on residence status on arrival with FURS, through eDavki or by e-mail. Do it within 8 days of the change in circumstances: an application to FURS (Vloga za ugotavljanje rezidentskega statusa). On arrival a foreigner is usually recorded as a non-resident, and the status decides how tax on your income is withheld.

Yes, the general allowance (splošna olajšava): €5,551.93 a year; higher if total income is up to €17,766.18. Residents get it when tax is withheld from salary and in the annual calculation.

Under the law, income tax is cut by an amount equal to 7% of the salary, for up to 5 consecutive tax years. It is a deduction from the tax already calculated, not a lower rate. The first year is the year you start working in Slovenia.

The same deadline applies to paying and to refunds: within 60 days of the date the calculation was sent. If you do not object, the calculation becomes the assessment by itself and you file nothing.

Yes, if you stop being resident. The rule is: file a tax return (napoved za odmero dohodnine) by 31 July; it is also filed on leaving, when you stop being resident. Report the change of residence to FURS within 8 days of the change in circumstances: an application to FURS (Vloga za ugotavljanje rezidentskega statusa).

There are about 60 countries on the FURS list as of 1 January 2026, including Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Russia. A treaty decides which country taxes the income, and tax paid abroad is credited within the treaty's limits.

The standard tax is 25%, final tax, withheld by the company on payment. If the treaty with your country sets a lower rate, there are two options: before payment, give the company form KIDO 1 (FURS decides within 15 days), or after payment claim a refund with form KIDO 9 within 5 years.

The employer pays 17.1% on top of gross salary. For a minimum-wage employee the total employer cost is about €1,750 a month.

Contributions are due by the 20th for the previous month; FURS sends a pre-filled calculation via eDavki by the 10th. This also applies to an s.p. on flat-rate expenses (normirani s.p.).

Advances are paid monthly if the advance exceeds €400, otherwise quarterly. They are based on the previous year's return; the tax rate is 22% (a temporary rate for 2024-2028).

Yes, you can register below the threshold: you notify FURS in advance (form DDV-P2 via eDavki) and keep the choice at least for the current and the next calendar year. Registration becomes mandatory above the threshold: €60,000 of turnover in Slovenia in a calendar year.

As a rule, yes. The number is needed before you provide services in another EU country where only the customer pays the VAT (reverse charge), unless you use the cross-border exemption there; the same applies when you receive such services from a foreign provider. The application is filed through eDavki.

The statutory time is 30 days from a complete application, up to 60 days if a special investigation is needed. It runs only once the file is complete, so a request for missing documents pushes the decision back.

Every ground requires a passport valid at least 3 months beyond the planned stay; health insurance covering at least urgent care in Slovenia; means of subsistence. Means are usually measured against the basic minimum income: €507.43 a month (since 1 March 2026). On top of that come the conditions of the specific ground: work, study, family or business.

A temporary permit: €50 in Slovenia, €102 via an embassy; permanent residence: €90.60. These are state fees under ZUT; the permit card is paid for separately.

Yes: with the permit and a valid passport you may stay in other Schengen countries for up to 90 days in any 180-day period in total; days in the country that issued the permit do not count. This covers trips only: to live or work in another EU country you need that country's permit.

Nationals of visa-free countries: you may stay up to 90 days unless an authority orders you to leave earlier. Those who need a visa for Slovenia must leave when the permit ends, unless a renewal or a new application was filed before that.

The rule: a temporary address is registered for the permit's validity, up to 2 years; if the permit arrives after you moved in, the 8 days run from its delivery. You must notify the owner of your home within 3 days of receiving the permit.

Not counted: time on a permit for seasonal work, as a posted worker, an intra-corporate transferee or a daily cross-border worker, and time spent serving a sentence. Permanent residence is not issued while you hold a permit for seasonal work, as a posted worker or a daily cross-border worker. A posting abroad, by contrast, counts if your Slovenian employer sends you to work abroad under your employment contract, even beyond the allowed absences.

Earlier than the general term: a family member may get permanent residence after 2 years of continuous lawful residence on a temporary permit (for family members of a foreigner with permanent residence or refugee status). The Slovenian language condition does not apply to anyone who gets permanent residence early.

The exam is not required for people over 60 or under 18, those in a programme taught in Slovenian or who completed any level of schooling in Slovenia, and those unable to take it for health reasons. Everyone else needs an A2 exam certificate.

Yes, in two common cases. Graduates of Slovenian universities need 7 years, 1 of them continuous; spouses of Slovenian citizens need at least 3 years married to a Slovenian citizen and 1 year of continuous life in Slovenia before applying. The standard requirement is 10 years, the last 5 continuous.

Income must be at least the basic minimum income for yourself and for each person you must support. On criminal record the condition is: no unconditional prison sentence over 3 months and no suspended sentence with probation over 1 year. State fee: €181.20 for the decision when filed in Slovenia.

What remains is a lawsuit at the Administrative Court (Upravno sodišče), within 30 days from delivery of the final decision. Decisions that cannot be appealed to the ministry, such as those on the single permit, also go straight to court.

It depends on citizenship. No reciprocity check is needed for citizens and companies of EU, OECD and European Economic Area (EFTA) member states. Citizens of EU candidate countries, including Ukraine and Moldova, need a positive reciprocity decision, while citizens of all other countries (Belarus, Kazakhstan and others) cannot buy real estate and can acquire it only by inheritance, subject to reciprocity (this applies, for example, to citizens of Russia and China).

The procedure: the Ministry of Justice decides for each property separately; if reciprocity for that country and kind of deal is already established, the decision comes within 30 days of a complete application; the decision is valid for 1 year. The application fee is €22.60; if there has been no such decision for your country yet, the ministry first gathers information on its law, which takes longer.

The Reciprocity Act (ZUVza-1) does not prevent it: it treats as foreigners natural persons without Slovenian citizenship and companies with their seat outside Slovenia; a company registered in Slovenia is not a foreigner, whoever owns it. But buying through a company does not give a residence permit by itself: a director's permit depends on the ZZSDT conditions, not on owning property.

No, not by itself: ZTuj-2 has no permit for buying a home or for investment. An owner can apply for a permit for other justified reasons (drugi utemeljeni razlogi), which is issued for the intended stay but for no longer than 1 year, and only if all other permit conditions are met; each case is decided individually.

Yes. A person without an address in Slovenia who owns property or earns income here must register for tax. The number is obtained with form DR-02 at any FURS financial office (in person, through a proxy or by post); certificate within 8 days.

The real estate transfer tax: 2% of the price; paid by the seller unless the contract shifts it to the buyer; not charged if VAT was charged on the sale. Procedure: the return is filed within 15 days of the contract; FURS decides within 30 days, and the tax is paid within 30 days of delivery of the decision. Without proof of payment a notary will not certify the signatures on the contract.

When the purchase is entered in the land register (zemljiška knjiga), kept by the courts; the entry takes effect from the moment the court receives the application. It needs a contract with the seller's signature certified by a notary and a consent to registration (zemljiškoknjižno dovolilo), and the signature is certified only once the transfer tax is paid or shown not to apply.

Usually the charge for the use of building land (NUSZ), whose amount the municipality sets, and the property tax; FURS issues both decisions by 31 March of the current year. Right after buying you file a property tax return within 15 days of signing the contract, at the tax office for the area where the property is. If you and your family live there permanently, the property tax base is reduced.

The rate: 25% of the income after 10% standard costs (or actual maintenance costs); the tax is final and is not added to the annual income tax base. A non-resident also pays it in Slovenia, because income from a home here is Slovenian-source income.

The seller usually pays the transfer tax, plus capital gains tax on the profit: 25% of the gain, 20% after 5 years of ownership, 15% after 10 years, none after 15 years. Exception: no capital gains tax on selling a flat or house (up to two dwellings with land) where you had your registered permanent address and actually lived for at least the last 3 years.

By law a lease and a sublease are concluded in writing. The contract also serves to register your address, where you have to show the right to live at the address: ownership, a lease or the owner's consent.

You need a passport and a Slovenian tax number. If an ordinary account is refused, you have the right to a basic payment account: any consumer without a payment account who lives lawfully in the EU can request one at any bank; the fee is capped at €4.90 a month. You must ask for it explicitly, and a bank may refuse only on grounds set by law, with written reasons.

A foreign licence is valid for the first year after you register your first temporary address in Slovenia; no limit for licences from the EU, Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland. You can apply to exchange it from 6 months after you first register a temporary address, at any upravna enota.

No practical test is needed for holders of licences from the EU and EEA, San Marino, the UK and Switzerland; from North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo and Serbia if they apply in the first year; from Japan, South Korea, the UAE and Australia for some categories. Everyone else, including holders of Russian and Ukrainian licences, takes the practical test within 180 days from the upravna enota's request; the test is taken through any Slovenian driving school.

No. A study permit does not move your habitual residence to Slovenia, which is a condition for the exchange. A licence also cannot be exchanged if it expired or was replaced while you were living in Slovenia.

Yes, if the owner agrees. To register you show the right to live at the address: ownership, a lease or the owner's consent; the consent can come from the owner or one co-owner. Deadline: 8 days from moving in.

Yes, the ZIP programme (Začetna integracija priseljencev): 180 hours of Slovenian and an introduction to Slovenian society, plus 60 hours if needed; free once; the certificate of eligibility comes from any upravna enota (fee €22.60). The entitlement: one free course and one free first exam attempt for non-EU nationals with permanent residence, a permit valid at least 1 year, family of Slovenian and EU citizens, or temporary protection.

You choose a general practitioner and a dentist, and women also a gynaecologist; up to age 19 the personal doctor is usually a paediatrician. How it is done: on your first visit you fill in the «Izjava o izbiri» form at the practice and the doctor records the choice in the ZZZS system; bring your health insurance card. For children: for a child under 15, a parent or guardian makes the choice.

It works like this: the employer withholds it from an employee's pay, ZPIZ from a pension, FURS charges an s.p. on the OPSV form, and ZZZS sends everyone else a monthly payment slip (UPN). Even with several sources of income, OZP is never split and is withheld once a month, by the payer of your main income.

You do: an s.p. registers themselves for insurance within 8 days of the insurance obligation starting. The insured person also registers their own family members.

Timing: the collection data arrives within 10 working days of approval. The certificate is valid for 5 years. It is available to Slovenian citizens from age 15 and foreigners who have an EMŠO and a tax number in Slovenia.

Yes, in the Moja eUprava section of the eUprava portal. It shows your data from the Centralni register prebivalstva, all applications filed through the portal with their status, your valid documents and reminders before they expire. You log in with an electronic identity, such as a certificate or smsPASS.
