How does Seasonal Work Permit work in Slovenia, and who qualifies?

Slovenia's seasonal work permit is aimed at non-EU workers taking up seasonal jobs, particularly in agriculture. The route you use depends on how long the work lasts. For seasonal work of more than 90 days, the Employment Service of Slovenia grants consent within the single-permit framework; for shorter seasonal work, a separate and simpler permit applies.

In all cases you start from a seasonal job offer from a Slovenian employer. You will also need adequate accommodation and means of subsistence and a valid travel document.

Seasonal work is more time-limited than the standard single permit, so it suits short, defined assignments rather than a long-term move. Because the thresholds and procedures can change, confirm the current rules with the Employment Service and the competent administrative unit before applying — and ACME can help if you are arranging seasonal staff or planning a seasonal stay yourself.
