Basis of the income figure
€3,200 net per month — twice the Slovenian average net salary. The benchmark is recalculated as salaries move, so expect annual drift upward.Do you qualify? Check in 10 seconds
Family maths: Spouse and children can join with their own residence permits, provided you show sufficient additional income for the household; no fixed published uplift. (This checker applies no single published uplift — the verdict below uses the base threshold.)
Requirements at a glance
- Non-EU/EEA citizen aged 18+, working remotely for an employer or clients registered outside Slovenia (own foreign company qualifies)
- Net income ≥ €3,200/month, shown with contracts and recent bank statements
- Health insurance valid in Slovenia (≥ €30,000 coverage) for the full stay
- Clean criminal record with apostille, and proof of accommodation in Slovenia
How to apply
- Choose the route: Slovenian consulate in your country of residence, or in person at an administrative unit (upravna enota) in Slovenia within your legal 90/180 stay.
- Submit the file: work and income proof, insurance, criminal record, accommodation.
- Register your address within 8 days of taking up residence.
- At the end of the 12 months, leave — reapplication is possible after a 6-month break.
Money: savings alternative & taxes
Savings route. Recent bank statements (3–6 months) evidencing the monthly income are the core proof; savings strengthen but don't replace it.
Tax. Not automatically tax-resident. Cross 183 days and Slovenian progressive rates (16–50%) apply to worldwide income.
Processing time. Typically 30–60 days.
Worth knowing: The 6-month cooling-off makes Slovenia a rotation base, not a settlement path — pair it with a non-Schengen stop (Albania, Montenegro) and rotate.

What income does Slovenia's digital nomad visa require?
€3,200 net per month, set at twice Slovenia's average net salary. The figure is benchmark-linked, so it will creep upward over time — verify the current number before applying.
Can I extend Slovenia's digital nomad visa?
No. It runs 12 months and cannot be renewed; you must leave and wait 6 months before applying again. If you want a longer-term Slovenian base, you'd switch to a different permit category.
Can I apply for the Slovenian visa while already in Slovenia?
Yes — this is one of its friendliest features. You can file at a local administrative unit during your visa-free 90/180 stay instead of going through a consulate, as long as you apply before your Schengen days run out.
When did Slovenia introduce its digital nomad visa?
On 21 November 2025. It's one of Europe's newest programmes, which is also why online information is still thin and often wrong — the €3,200/month figure and 6-month cooling-off are the two facts most guides miss.
Primary source: Government of Slovenia — Infotujci / administrative units. Thresholds tied to wages or salaries change every year — the figures above were verified July 2026. Travel insurance that satisfies visa requirements: nomad insurance from ~€2/day.
