Get a consultationProgramme requirements
A stay of up to one year
The permit cannot be extended. While it remains valid, you may apply for a residence permit on another basis under the Foreigners Act, provided you meet the requirements for that category. You may apply for another Digital Nomad permit six months after your previous permit expires.
Sufficient financial means
You must demonstrate financial means of at least twice Slovenia’s average monthly net salary. The applicable amount should be checked when preparing your application.
Family reunification — without a one-year waiting period
Digital nomads can apply for family reunification without first completing one year of residence in Slovenia. Each family member must still meet the applicable requirements and provide the necessary documents. Residence permits are not issued automatically.
Important to know
This programme allows you to live in Slovenia while continuing your remote work abroad. It does not grant access to the Slovenian labour market.
Applications may be submitted through a Slovenian diplomatic or consular mission abroad or, where the conditions for applying during a lawful stay are met, at an administrative unit in Slovenia. Approval depends on meeting all applicable requirements.
