Why Slovenia?

Slovenia, a country in Central Europe, is known for its mountains, ski resorts and lakes. On Lake Bled, a glacial lake fed by hot springs, the town of Bled contains a church-topped islet and a cliffside medieval castle. In Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital, baroque facades mix with the 20th-century architecture of native Jože Plečnik, whose iconic Tromostovje (Triple Bridge) spans the tightly curving Ljubljanica River.

Slovenia is a developed country, with a high-income economy ranking highly in the Human Development Index. The Gini coefficient rates its income inequality among the lowest in the world. It is a member of the United Nations, the European Union, the Eurozone, the Schengen Area, the OSCE, the OECD, the Council of Europe, and NATO.

Work Permit

A work visa is an official document which allows you to work in another foreign country. If you want to work in Slovenia, you will most likely need to apply for a work visa prior to starting work, except for EU nationals who don’t require a visa at all. So, if you’re interested in working in Slovenia, you need to know what type of work you can do in the country and how to obtain a work permit.

Third-country nationals from countries outside of the EEA/EU must apply for a work visa if they want to move to Slovenia for gainful employment.
