Guide outlines Slovenia’s temporary-residence permit procedure

Published: 13.04.2026

Applicants for temporary residence must state a permitted purpose of stay and provide proof of sufficient funds and health insurance. The initial application is generally filed at a Slovenian embassy in the country of permanent residence, and the address in Slovenia must be registered after the permit is obtained.

According to the source, applicants for temporary residence must establish a qualifying purpose of stay, such as employment, study or family reunification, before applying. Many applicants therefore need to plan an embassy application before arrival and prepare evidence of sufficient funds and health insurance. After moving, they must register their address, while renewal applications must be submitted before the existing permit expires. This is important for workers, students and families planning a move beyond a short-term stay.
