Slovenia Introduces Residence Permit for Digital Nomads
Slovenia has amended its Foreigners Act to introduce a temporary residence permit for digital nomads — highly qualified professionals working remotely using modern communication technologies.
Eligibility criteria:
- Citizenship outside the EU/EEA.
- Remote work (not employed by or providing services to clients in Slovenia).
- A passport valid for at least 3 months beyond the intended stay.
- Health insurance that covers emergency medical care in Slovenia.
- Monthly income at least double the average net salary in Slovenia (currently approx. €2,868/month).
- No grounds for rejection (e.g., security risks, criminal record, etc.).
The permit is granted for up to 1 year with no renewal. A new application may only be submitted 6 months after the previous permit expires.
