Registration procedures and residence permits

You need to be registered at the address where you normally live. You will need a permit to reside in Slovenia for a period exceeding three months. You must apply to the administrative unit in whose territory you reside. It will be granted on the basis of a valid identity card or passport. In the case of planned employment, you must submit confirmation from your employer that he will employ you or proof of employment (an employment contract) and, in the case of study, self-employment or retirement, evidence thereof. You must also provide proof that you have a secure means of subsistence and compulsory health insurance.
However, as a national of a Member State of the European Union you may only be refused residence in Slovenia if you constitute a threat to public law and order or national security or are a financial burden on the State.
If you apply for a permanent residence permit in Slovenia, the permanent residence registration in your own country will remain valid until a Slovenian permit is issued. Your permanent residence in Slovenia is normally registered at the address at which you usually reside.
