BUSINESS IMMIGRATION TO SLOVENIA

Slovenia is one of a few EU countries where legal residence status is granted relatively quickly to foreign citizens through establishment of a business. A residence permit in Slovenia can be obtained by opening a company or its branch in the country. A foreigner can obtain permanent residence after 5 years, and citizenship after 10 years of residence in the country. Below, we will tell you why it is attractive for foreigners and how to become successful in Europe.

According to the regulations, any foreigner working in a Slovenian company has the right to reside in this country. Business immigration to Slovenia provides many opportunities. Since you are ready to participate in the economic activities of the country, you get the following rights:

• obtaining a Schengen visa;
• moving freely within the territory of the EU;
• living permanently and getting an opportunity to find a job in the country;
• moving to the chosen city;
• registering your company in accordance with the current legislation;
• renting an apartment, and providing quality education and health care for yourself and your family members – spouse and children;
• doing business not only in Slovenia, but (in the nearest future) in the EU;
• obtaining permission to open accounts in a Slovenian bank, rent and purchase real estate;
• then, after 10 years of permanent residence, obtaining a European country citizenship.

Slovenia provides the security of your assets, investment reliability , economic and political stability, and a successful life. Here a new future opens not only for you, but also for your family.

To launch the process and obtain a Slovenian residence permit, a few steps must be taken:

• opening a company in Slovenia, in accordance with the number of founders and the chosen form of organization;
• registering at the tax office and getting a tax number;
• opening a bank account and depositing funds as authorized capital (minimum is €7500);
• submitting a request for a residence permit.

Each of the steps is a set of procedures that can be difficult for a foreigner. There are twists and turns that many entrepreneurs are not aware of when starting a business in this country.

The easiest way to get a residence permit is to initially obtain an employment in your own company. This should not be a managerial position (director, manager) and not a regular employee - you need to be a unique specialist.
There are other options. For example, employment in a Slovenian company for a period of 6 months or more, six months’ company turnover of at least 10 thousand euros, or purchase of equipment equivalent to 50 thousand euros. In this case, after obtaining a residence permit, you can reunite with your family.

Slovenian employers have the right to employ foreigners subject to several conditions:

• no candidate was found among Slovenian citizens;
• a foreigner has necessary qualifications;
• all formalities have been completed and taxes have been paid;
• a company had at least one full-time employee in the last six months.

Employment is performed strictly in line with the education received. Only after getting employment, it is possible to purchase real estate, or extend a residence permit. Our immigration specialist in Ljubljana explains that the procedure is usually divided into several stages:

• registration with a valid passport;
• issuing a residence permit (takes an average of 90 days from the date of submission of the documents);
• obtaining an identification card;
• opening a bank account.

If you decide to draw up all the documents yourself, you are personally responsible for the result. To save money that you can spend on your business development in Slovenia, contact professionals. They have a well-developed action plan and will be able to reduce the cost of the process of obtaining a residence permit.
