Digital Nomad Visas: Another European Nation Joins
Slovenia has become the latest European nation to introduce a Digital Nomad Visa, offering remote professionals from outside the European Union the opportunity to live and work legally in the country for up to one year. The move is part of a broader strategy to attract global talent and boost the local economy by leveraging the growing digital workforce.
The visa, which came into effect on May 21, 2025, is granted to non-EU citizens who work remotely for companies not registered in Slovenia. Applicants must demonstrate proof of employment or self-employment abroad, have sufficient income—at least twice Slovenia’s average net monthly salary—valid health insurance, and a clean legal record.
Key Features:
- Valid for up to 1 year
- Non-renewable, but reapplication is allowed after a 6-month break
- Immediate family reunification allowed for spouses and children
- Applications can be made at Slovenian embassies or within Slovenia under certain conditions
This initiative follows similar digital nomad programs by countries like Croatia, Portugal, and Estonia. Slovenia, known for its scenic beauty, safety, and relatively low cost of living, hopes to become a preferred destination for digital professionals seeking a European base.
For global freelancers, tech workers, and entrepreneurs, Slovenia’s new visa opens up a compelling gateway to work and explore in the heart of Europe.
