Single permit for highly qualified employment in Slovenia, available to non-EU nationals with a higher-education qualification and a job offer meeting the higher salary threshold. Highly qualified roles under the Blue Card scheme are generally exempt from the labour-market test, and the card offers EU mobility and a route to long-term residence.
Temporary residence permit for non-EU researchers who have a hosting agreement with an approved research organisation in Slovenia. It permits research activity and offers mobility to carry out research in other EU member states.
Authorisation for non-EU nationals to perform seasonal work in Slovenia, notably in agriculture. For seasonal work of more than 90 days the Employment Service grants consent within the single-permit framework; shorter seasonal work uses a separate, simpler permit.
Slovenia's main route for employing non-EU nationals. A single document combines residence and work authorisation: it is issued by the local administrative unit, while the Employment Service of Slovenia (ZRSZ) grants the required consent. The first permit is issued for the duration of the employment contract but for no more than two years, with extensions of up to three years.
Permanent residence in Slovenia, normally available after five years of continuous legal residence (or earlier under specific statutory conditions), issued by the administrative unit in the person's place of residence. It provides stable residence and broad equal treatment with nationals.
Residence route for non-EU nationals who wish to be self-employed in Slovenia. No consent from the Employment Service is required, but self-employment is generally only permitted after one year of continuous legal residence in Slovenia — unless the person is already entered in the Slovenian business register.
Temporary residence permit allowing close family members of a non-EU national lawfully resident in Slovenia (or of a Slovenian/EU national) to join them. Typically covers a spouse or partner and minor children, subject to housing, income and insurance conditions.
