Business migration
Relocate or migrate, invest or expand business in Slovenia
Opening your own company and employment in this company gives you the right to run a business in EU, as well as to obtain residence permit in Slovenia for you and your family members.
The procedure for issuing documents based on business immigration is simple and in general consists of three stages:
- Company registration, deposit of initial capital (3-7 days)
- Fulfilment of conditions of active business or creation of a unique vacancy
- (1-6 months)
- Obtaining work and residence permit (2-3 months)
The specific needs of each of our customers define the details of the procedure that are going to be in the hands of our experienced and devoted specialists.
Active business management is considered as fulfilment of one of three conditions:
- Investments in fixed assets in the amount of not less than 50.000€ in the first 6 months of the existence of the company.
- Monthly turnover of the company is not less than 10.000€ for the period of 6 months or Employment of one person that already has work and has a residence permit in Slovenia for 6 months.
- To create a unique vacancy, you need a high education, confirmed by an apostilled diploma. It is possible to become employed as a specialist after checking the position of your company’s vacancy in the Slovenian labour market.
