When and where do family members have to apply for a Slovenian residence permit?

Illustration for this immigration answer

Non-EU family members generally must apply at the local administrative unit before any visa-free stay of up to 90 days expires.

Family members who are non-EU nationals can usually be in Slovenia for up to 90 days without a residence permit, but to stay longer they must obtain one. The application is made at the competent local administrative unit, with documents proving the family relationship and that the sponsor meets the conditions.

It is important to apply before the permitted short stay runs out, rather than letting it lapse. Submitting early, with complete proof of relationship and the sponsor's housing, insurance, and income where required, helps keep the family's stay continuously legal.
