Country guide Slovenia

What companies and skilled workers should know about starting work, documents and everyday life. Not legal advice — for individual questions we talk to you.

Work permit

Third-country nationals need a single residence and work permit. The application goes through the administrative unit; Ponra compiles and submits it. Processing times vary — we don't promise a guaranteed date.

Documents

Passport (valid for at least 12 months), signed employment contract, proof of accommodation, proof of qualifications, medical examination if required. Translations and certifications are usually covered by the company.

Accommodation

The company usually provides or arranges accommodation; the scope is set out in the employment contract. Shared rooms are common — applicants state in the wizard whether that works for them.

Wages and costs

Wages are paid directly by the company. Ponra deducts nothing. Government fees, travel and workwear are borne by the employer; living costs until the first wage by the employee.

Renewal

Permits are limited in time. Ponra sends a reminder 90 days before expiry and accompanies the renewal.

Rules change. We update this guide but cannot guarantee completeness. For your case: Contact.
