The Slovenia digital nomad visa is set to launch on November 21, 2025, as the country works to attract remote workers and new talent from across the world. This new visa will allow non-EU and non-EEA citizens to live and work remotely in Slovenia for up to one year while remaining employed by companies or clients outside Slovenia. Details about the application process and requirements are expected to be released soon.
Applicants approved for Slovenia’s digital nomad visa will be allowed to stay in the country for up to one year. To qualify, applicants must be employed by a company outside Slovenia or work independently for clients abroad. This means anyone working for a Slovenian employer would not meet the criteria and risk rejection or future travel restrictions.
One important feature of the visa is that it also permits holders to bring family members with them. However, those family members will not be allowed to work while in Slovenia. To bring family along, applicants must demonstrate they have enough income to support themselves and their relatives, although the exact financial requirements have not been announced yet.
Digital Nomad Visa Rules and Limitations
The digital nomad visa for Slovenia cannot be renewed immediately after it expires. Those who wish to remain longer must leave the country for at least six months before applying again. This means digital nomads can stay for a year, then must spend half a year elsewhere before returning.
Applications for the visa can be submitted online or at any Slovenian embassy or consulate abroad. Once granted, the permit is valid for a full 12 months. This approach aims to encourage a steady flow of digital nomads while keeping opportunities available to new applicants.
By introducing this visa, Slovenia joins other European countries offering remote workers the chance to live, explore, and contribute economically without traditional work permits.
Why Choose Slovenia as a Digital Nomad Destination?
Slovenia combines affordable living costs with quality of life. The capital, Ljubljana, offers a vibrant city atmosphere with numerous co-working spaces, buzzing cafes, and lively nightlife for those who enjoy social urban life.
For people seeking quieter settings, cities like Celje, Maribor, Kranj, and Koper provide peaceful alternatives ideal for families or those preferring a slower pace.
With its natural beauty, welcoming culture, and growing infrastructure for remote workers, Slovenia is poised to become a new hotspot for digital nomads from across the globe.
