Slovenia to Launch Digital Nomad Visa in November 2025

Key Takeaways

1. Slovenia is set to launch a digital nomad visa in November of this year.

2.The permit will allow stays of up to 12 months in the country for digital nomads provided that they work for non-Slovenian clients or employers.

3.There will be no possibility to renew Slovenia’s digital nomad visa back-to-back.

Slovenia is preparing to roll out a brand-new digital nomad visa aimed at attracting skilled professionals from around the world. According to Triplonia Travel Blog, the program is expected to officially launch on November 21, 2025, although full details are still under wraps.

The visa will be open to all non-EU/EEA nationals, offering them a chance to live in Slovenia for up to 12 months while working remotely for employers or clients based outside of Slovenia. This means you must already be employed by a foreign company or running your own international freelance business to qualify.

If you’re thinking about applying, keep in mind that working for Slovenian-based companies will not be allowed under this visa. Failing to meet this condition could lead to a visa rejection or even trouble with future entry into the country.

Bring Your Family — With Conditions

One of the attractive features of this visa is the option to bring family members along. However, there are a few catches:

Your dependents won’t be allowed to work in Slovenia.
You’ll also need to prove that you have sufficient income to support not just yourself, but everyone you’re bringing along. The Slovenian government has not yet disclosed the exact income threshold.

Not Renewable Right Away

Unlike some other countries, Slovenia’s digital nomad visa can’t be renewed consecutively. After your 12 months are up, you’ll need to leave the country for at least six months before reapplying for another round.

Applications will be accepted online or through Slovenian embassies and consulates once the program officially opens.

Why Choose Slovenia?

Slovenia is positioning itself as a fresh destination for remote workers by offering lower living costs than many other EU countries. Its capital, Ljubljana, blends charming architecture with vibrant nightlife and co-working hubs perfect for solo nomads or creatives. For those looking for a quieter pace or planning to relocate with family, smaller cities like Celje, Maribor, Kranj, and Koper offer a more laid-back, family-friendly environment.

With this new initiative, Slovenia is set to join the growing list of European countries opening their doors to digital nomads encouraging long-term stays and boosting local economies.
