All requirements in detail
- Official name
- Temporary residence permit for digital nomads (dovoljenje za začasno prebivanje za digitalne nomade)
- Visa type
- Digital nomad visa
- Status
- Active
- Income basis
- Savings accepted
- Legal basis
- Official rule (GOV.SI / ZTuj-2I): monthly funds of at least twice the average monthly NET salary in Slovenia, derived from the most recently published average monthly GROSS salary in the Official Gazette. Per SURS, Slovenia's 2025 average monthly net salary was approx. EUR 1,602, so 2x net is approx. EUR 3,204/month, rounded to EUR 3,200. Slovenia's currency is the euro, so no FX conversion is needed. The exact EUR figure is NOT published on the official GOV.SI page; it is computed from the published net-salary statistic and corroborated by tier-2 sources (~EUR 3,200/mo). Income may come from any lawful source (remote employment, civil-law contract, self-employment abroad, savings).
- Proof of funds
- Required
- Family surcharges
- Means-of-subsistence requirement increases for accompanying family members; secondary sources cite roughly +EUR 300/month per family member, but the exact statutory surcharge is not published on the official GOV.SI page.
- Working for local clients
- Not allowed
- Path to citizenship
- Via permanent residence
- Where to apply
- Embassy / consulate, In country
- Processing time
- 4–9 weeks
- Tax residency trigger
- 183 days
Insurance requirement, verbatim intent: The official GOV.SI / ZTuj-2I framework requires applicants to hold health insurance valid in Slovenia covering at least emergency medical services for the entire duration of the intended stay (hence required = yes_explicit). The official sources do NOT publish a minimum coverage figure; the EUR 30,000 minimum is cited consistently by secondary relocation/visa guides (tier-2/3) and is in line with general Slovenian/Schengen visa practice, so it is corroborated but not officially gazetted. Accompanying family members need equivalent coverage. The permit does not grant access to Slovenia's public health insurance (ZZZS) unless the holder separately registers and pays compulsory contributions.
Tax notes: Holding the digital nomad permit does not by itself create Slovenian tax residency (confirmed by tax-advisory source). A person who spends more than 183 days in Slovenia in a calendar year, or whose habitual abode / permanent home / centre of personal and economic interests is in Slovenia, is treated as a tax resident and is then taxed on worldwide income at progressive personal income tax rates (Slovenia's general PIT brackets run roughly 16% to 50%). Below 183 days, foreign-source income is generally not taxed in Slovenia. There is no special low-tax regime specifically for digital nomads; some advisers reference Slovenia's general 'normirani' lump-sum (flat-rate cost) self-employment regime, but that requires a Slovenian sole-proprietorship and is not part of the nomad permit. Tax treatment is fact-specific - not legal advice.
