00:00 Intro
00:45 Where is Slovenia
Slovenia is a country in Central Europe, and as a matter of fact, it is one of the youngest countries in the European continent. It became independent just in 1991 after the collapse of Yugoslavia. Actually Slovenia was the first country to breakaway from Yugoslavia, and this helped the country greatly to improve its economy and overall quality of life. Other countries that were dragged longer in the Yugoslav wars had much harder times to rebuild their countries and economies.
Today, Slovenia is a full European Union member (and among the smallest states in the EU). It is also a member of the Schengen area, meaning that in normal circumstances there is freedom of movement for the people inside this area.
Presently, Slovenia is a highly developed nation, member of the EU and the Schengen area with a stable economy and currency.
02:01 Residence Permit in Slovenia (EU citizens)
If you are an EU citizen you can just come to Slovenia without much planning. If you want to stay more than 3 months in the country you need to register your stay. You will need an address to register your stay but this is a pretty straightforward process. You don’t need to get a visa or deal with embassies before actually coming to Slovenia.
02:30 Residence Permit in Slovenia (non-EU citizens)
If you are a non-EU citizen however, in Slovenia, like in any EU country, it is much harder to actually get residency. Slovenia does not offer many options, but it is still possible to get a residence permit.
-The most common types of residence permits in Slovenia are for employment, or if you have a family member in the country. If you are a citizen of a Western Balkan country which is not part of the EU, it might be easier for you to get a residence permit in Slovenia than other non-EU countries.
03:21 Business Residence Permit in Slovenia
The easiest way to get a residence permit in Slovenia as an independent person is by opening a company in the country.
However, opening a company per se is not enough to make you eligible for a residence permit in Slovenia.
As a non-EU citizen you will still need to meet one of the requirements that i will list now:
You either have to hire one EU national for 6 months or;
Have a monthly turnover above 10k euros per month during six months in the company or;
Invest a capital of at least 50k euros in the your company;
The option of investing 50k euros is the easiest and the fastest one to get a residence permit in Slovenia, as it will involve spending less on taxes or having staff. Also for a new company it may be hard to actually get a 10k euro turnover right from the start.
The 50k option is also good if you want to be a self-employed person or a retiree. If you are a retiree you can use the money invested in your company to buy real estate and rent the properties, this way the company will have activity and you will have grounds to renew your residence permit in Slovenia.
04:37 Slovenia Permanent Residence Permit
If you stay long enough in Slovenia on a temporary permit basis you will be able to apply for a permanent residence permit.
In most cases, after residing 5 consecutive years in Slovenia you will be able to apply for a permanent residence permit.
The permanent residence permit has a number of advantages compared to the temporary one.
05:05 Slovenia citizenship
If you want to get Slovenian Citizenship by naturalization, consider the fact that getting citizenship in the country is harder than in most countries around it.
In normal circumstances, you will need to live in Slovenia for 10 years to be eligible to apply for citizenship. From those 10 years, the immediately previous 5 years to the application have to be of continuous residence.
Apart from that you will also need to renounce your previous citizenship if you acquire Slovenian citizenship through naturalization. There are a few exceptions to that however.
05:55 Advantages of living in Slovenia:
-Location: Slovenia has one of the most privileged locations in Europe.
-Safety: Slovenia is one of the safest countries in Europe.
-Part of the EU, Schengen and eurozone (stability).
-Most people speak more than one language (and English)
-Nature: despite its small size Slovenia is blessed with some of the most amazing natural landscapes in Europe.
07:42 Disadvantages
-Taxes at a personal level.
-The second disadvantage of living in Slovenia is that the country in itself is quite small. Even Ljubljana, the capital and largest city in the country, is still a relatively small city.
-The last disadvantage of living in Slovenia is its cost of living.
My father was from Slovenia. Can't wait to visit.
Much love from Canada!
Dobrodošel 😊
Then claim your Slovenian Citizenship, since your father is from there...
I LOVE SLOVENIA and their people ! One day I will be there ! Greetings from Bulgaria !
No you wont be
@@Slovenia132 Guitarist , Rude, but probably true....

I live Slovenian people's are really very good. I am leaving here from 4 months and I didn't feel even a single day that I am not at my country. I am from India and there's joint families we talk with each other and I am feeling same here. I love Slovenian people's and respect Slovenia government also.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
What do you do there ? I am also from india and I want to co.e to Europe?

Another really informative and fun video. And the best unexpected gift of the day. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the unexpected gift hehe.
I'm currently working towards a 5 year plan to move from London to Slovenia to buy and run a bed & breakfast for adventure sports holidays. Luckily I am also an EU passport holder through Ireland. The biggest issue I have come across so far is motgages on properties, Volksbank in Austria requires a 30% deposit, hence needing 5 years to finalise a move. Purchase, renovations etc...it adds up.
send me an email, my ultimate plan is also to do it, but not in Slovenia (probably in Croatia). I will be glad to share my info on the matter with someone with a similar goal.
Thank you very much Sire. I did this request and you upload it :)
Most welcome!
I'm Bangladeshi.i live in Romania .I have business in Romania.so can I get better opportunity? Please let me know thanks
Bro, I only comments because you have most simply and fair description and information . I personally belive that you really wants people to understand. Lots of wishes and love to meet you somedays ...
thanks for the kind words!
Very useful information...thanks
Nice video ✌🏻
You explained it well, thank you ! It looks like finding an IT JOB in Slovenia is little tricky....
Yes, the job market is quite small and the competition is high qualified.
Very nice
Compared to the UK Slovenia is much cheaper, especially the supermarkets and eating out is also considerably cheaper and generally much higher quality foods are served because Slovenia insisted on keeping their seed banks when they joined the EU.so you can actually taste the difference in the food .
That's great! But you won't find much to eat if it is fish, produce or fruits.
Great video...u gotta a fresh new subscriber hiaaaa.....I work In Slovenia and moved from Italy because the wages are higher in Slovenia significantly....just in Lombardia u can get better wages but is to far ... Slovenia is among the best countries in the world for quality of life ...
Grazie. Ho antenati veneti. Sia la Slovenia che l'Italia sono paesi bellissimi ma l'Italia, come sai, è un posto molto complicato per fare affari.

Heyy
Thank you for sharing this information
I'm planning to move here for study
Please advise would it be a good decision
I've heard that if you are freelancer you can ask for tax only your 20% of income (and it's 20% ) so basically you are paying less then 10% . It is amazing
Yes there is a lump sum tax option in Slovenia, it is quite decent.
Great video ... It'll be nice If you could make similar videos about individual countries. Anymore countries which offer residence permits through opening a company?
Many countries. Serbia, Albania, North Macedonia, Slovakia, Hungary... check our other videos :)
What about Austria for residents permit by opening a company and how much it would be...thanks
@@samanthaliyanage1674 in Austria you need to invest much (really much more) more to come as a company owner. But there is a cheaper program if you speak German and have sufficient financial means.
Anything related possibility in Germany? I mean registering a company for something like Amazon fba while being outside the country and then applying for a residence permit through the embassy in the home country.
Hi,please make a video for Estonia 🇪🇪 Thank you 🙏
Still deciding whether to move to Slovenia, Poland or Czechia.
Interesting topics and interesting approach, I have to say (but maybe it could be even better if the host would talk a little bit slower 😄). I have to say all of this is totally new subjects to me, even though I am a person eager and dreaming to live alone in other place. Although opinions and economy changes are as subjective as... weather changes 😂... this channel seems to offer quite interesting and trustworthy opinions. It seems that the host J. Stotz might come from Business, Finances or other money/investments areas (maybe he has been a Digital Nomad). He really scans and go through what really should be taken in account. But -Ah! - the way he talks with ease about huge multiple figure$ number$ almost makes me sad about this dream of mine of living my last years in a small wood house, surrounded by nature 😁
obrigado!
Any exclusive video similar to Slovenia about Hungary
It will be one of the first videos in 2022.
I’m from Africa in South Africa what can it cost or take from me if i want to be a citizen of slovenia I really love this place ❤️ And i wish to spend the rest of my life there 🥺
I love Slovenia and I will love to move to Slovenia, can you help?
Can You do a Detailed Video about Poland 🇵🇱👍🏼
Hopefully will do it in the future.
Thanks for a great video!
As a citizen of Serbia, can I get a residence permit (I don't need a work permit) if I purchase a house?
For you wrote "If you are a citizen of a Western Balkan country which is not part of the EU, it might be easier for you to get a residence permit in Slovenia than other non-EU countries."
No, you cannot. The residence permits are usually easier to get for citizens of Serbia if they come for work purposes. If you open a company with more than 50k capital and buy real estate, you can get a residence permit, but the costs of maintaining the company opened are quite high.
@@traveleconomics Thanks a lot! How much would it cost to maintain a company with a small income from renting one apartment to occasional tourists?
The alternative would be Croatia, but owning a property there grants just 9 months legal stay per year.
@@pml3381 pisi me poruku na mailu, mogu vam obijasniti to sto znam o tom.
@@traveleconomics Hocu, hvala!
@@traveleconomics Have you got my email, I sent it 5 days ago, but in Serbian...
Put the information on screen through texts for better understand the matter
I really, really want to move to Slovenia. I am from New Zealand.
I am an artist who paints nature. It looks fantastic there. Can I get a artists residency there??? If I could I'd be there tomorrow.
In culture sector people here live allmost tax free. Friend-achitect has paid everything by the state and very little tax on profit. Google ' status kulturnika ' and find out more... From NZ you can transfer here tommorow, I think you need only place to stay and that is all for visa. After 5-10 years you become citizent if you work. Don't need to learn slovenian, averyone here speaks english. And one more thing, don't move, NZ is allmost the same place as slovenia, only food is better.
What are the chances of getting a vesa without a work permit?
It's good if you are retired and have a permanent resident visa in any EU country.
How about the innovation level there ?
They rank arount the average when compared with EU nations. In some specific aspects, like in crypto, they are more advanced than other countries in the region like Croatia or Italy.
@@traveleconomics compared with Portugal?
@@simonpeter9617 I'd still go for Portugal, even thought PT is not among the top EU nations in innovation. The reason for that is that the market is much larger. Portugal has 10 million inhabitants versus 2 million in Slovenia, at a somewhat similar innovation level.
Great Video! I'm considering opening a company in Slovenia. I plan to start a youtube channel and since my country does not have a tax treaty with the United States I would be paying 24-30% on my ad revenue from the US viewers.
Would you mind sharing how much is the tax on US viewers for a Slovenian youtube channel?
Is it 0% like it says in the IRS tax treaty table?
Thank you!
Slovenia has a double tax treaty with the US, so you wouldn't pay this extra 30% if your channel is based in Slovenia. But, in any case (if you live in a country without a double tax treaty with the US), that only applies to US viewers for RUclips ad revenue, you can have a number of different income revenues from your YT channel apart from ad revenue.
@@traveleconomics Thanks! I guess it would make sense if majority of the channel's viewers are from the US, and if large percentage of the revenue was from the ads, which is likely to be the case with my channel.
@@CreatorInsightMedia yes, but bear in mind that, even if your channel is in English, since RUclips is a global platform, probably less than half of the viewers will actually be from the US.
Hi 👋🏼 thanks for this vidz is awesome. I love to know more about how can we migrate to Slovenia, is there any agent that i can reach to.. email address perhaps.. looking forward for your next video more to know about Slovenia 🇸🇮

Retiring in Slovenia as a EU citizen
What do you pay in Taxes?
Hi, Do they allow Dual Citizenship ? If not, this is a HUGE disadvantage.
only in a few cases.
Usually not. Only if you are a part of Slovenian minority in other countries like Italy, Austria, Hungary...or of 2nd generation descent. That's it. Your fiscal residency is also very important, you could get double taxed in some cases.
WOULD you-like to move to Slovenija???❤🎉😊😊
R u providing information for Indians also ? How they can move to out of India and the best place to settle in abroad
The information is for everybody. If you meet the requirements you can apply regardless of your nationality.
Cool Video But I see that Slovenia is Not Worth the Investment!!!
No one is saying you have to, no one is forcing you... we will not be at a loss because of you 😈😈😈😈😈
Do you have Info for non-EU ctns, who to get residence in Bolgaria?
I am interested to have more information on Citizenship program of Slovenia. Would appreciate if someone can guide and provide contact details to contact for more information. Thanks
there is no legit citizenship by investment program in Slovenia. Either you have Slovenian roots or you need to live in the country for a number of years to be able to apply.
