Visas & permit

There are things you just can’t avoid when you are moving to a new country.

Just remember: patience and preparedness will get you a long way! And generally, do not try to tackle Slovenian administration on your own. The university staff will support you in the process and manage some procedures on your behalf. 

The processes you need to go through depend on your personal circumstances and expectations. Generally, your country of origin will determine the procedures to a great extent, but you will have to make some decisions. Below is an overview of processes needed to be undertaken:

All: once you are in Slovenia you will have to register your address, get a tax number and open a bank account

EU & EEA citizens: need to obtain residence registration certificate if you are staying here for more than three months

Swiss nationals: need to obtain residence permit if you are staying here for more than three months

Non-EU, EEA or Swiss citizens: need to obtain a long-term visa (type D) or a temporary residence permit

Specific processes are described below, just jump to the relevant section.
