How does Family Reunification work in Slovenia, and who qualifies?

Slovenia's family reunification route is a temporary residence permit allowing the close family of a non-EU national lawfully resident in Slovenia — or of a Slovenian or EU national — to come and live with them. It typically covers a spouse or partner and minor children.

The sponsor must hold a qualifying residence permit (or be a Slovenian or EU national), and the application has to prove the family relationship. You will also show adequate means of subsistence, health insurance and a valid travel document.

Getting the relationship evidence and financial documents in order early helps the process run smoothly, as the family member's residence is generally linked to the sponsor's status. Income and housing conditions can change over time, so confirm the current requirements with the competent administrative unit before applying — and ACME is glad to help families put together a complete, well-documented application.
