1.      EU STUDENTS

Health insurance:

Students from within the EU area should bring with them basic EU health insurance from their own county. For additional types of health insurance, accident insurance, etc., they may enter one of international health insurance schemes (e.g. CORIS, STA) in Slovenia. Also, they are advised to make a copy of their health insurance and leave it with their friend, mentor, etc., in case of accident.

Registration at a Public Administration Division, Department for Foreigners (The Foreigners Act, Off. Gaz. No. 50/2011 – hereinafter ZTuj-2):

without being properly registered students may reside in Slovenia in the duration of up to 3 months. Should they wish to remain there longer they must register at a Public Administration Division by submitting an application for student residence. A confirmation of student status (e.g. scholarship contract or confirmation of enrolment), a valid ID or passport, sufficient financial means for living (a written statement), and appropriate health insurance should be enclosed (ZTuj-2, Sect. XIII).

Registration of residence:

The landlord must register the temporary residence of a foreigner who has a valid residence permit for the Republic of Slovenia when such foreigner temporarily settles down at his premises, at any administrative division within the period of 3 days of his or her acceptance irrespective of the duration of settlement. The landlord must report a foreigner who settles down at his premises but does not possess a permit for residing in the Republic of Slovenia to the police station in the area of the foreigner’s settlement, in 3 days after the crossing of the state border or after the change of his or her settlement.

Taxes, income tax:

i.      Work through the student’s service office: the income received by a foreign student is subject to the same tax rate as that obtained by Slovene students.

ii.      A scholarship received by a foreign student in Slovenia is exempted from taxation (Income Tax Act (ZDoh-2), Arts. 25 and 106).

2.      NON-EU STUDENTS

Health insurance:

Students should be properly insured already at the time of obtaining a residence permit (while still at home). They must get health insurance that covers the EU area or only Slovenia. Students from countries which have signed a special social and health insurance agreement with Slovenia may take the opportunity of that. Also, they are advised to make a copy of their health insurance and leave it with their friend, mentor, etc., in case of accident.

Residence permit:

Students from non-European countries in order to study in Slovenia should obtain a student residence permit prior to their entry into Slovenia. For that purpose they should submit an application for the permit at the Slovenian embassy or the embassy that is authorized for accepting applications for residence permits in Slovenia. Students may request the extension of a residence permit at an administrative division in Slovenia. In order to obtain the residence permit they must submit a proof of student status, a proof of having sufficient financial resources for living, a valid passport, appropriate health insurance, and also indicate a place of temporary residence in Slovenia. The process of obtaining the permit usually takes at least 6 weeks.

More information

Long-term residence visa:

Students may enter Slovenia also on the basis of a long-term residence visa. The so-called D Visa may be issued for taking part at a course or another similar kind of education or specialization due to which a foreigner does need a student residence permit.

Registration of residence:

The landlord must register the temporary residence of a foreigner who has a valid residence permit in the Republic of Slovenia when such foreigner temporarily settles down at his premises, at any administrative division within the period of 3 days of his or her acceptance irrespective of the duration of settlement.

Taxes, income tax:

ii.      A scholarship received by a foreign student in Slovenia is exempted from taxation.

3.      PROFESSORS

Incoming professors:

Professors who come on a short visit here and are EU citizens do not need any residence permit. Professors who come on a short visit here and originate from countries whose citizens may enter and reside in the country without a visa also do not need to obtain special entry documents. If professors come from a country whose citizens need a visa for entering and residing here, the professors must obtain a visa for short-term residence (C Visa) for which the hosting institution must write a letter of invitation or a letter of guarantee.

Taxes, income tax:

i.      Professors are liable to income tax.

ii.      If there exists a double tax avoidance agreement between Slovenia and the professor’s country (KIDO 7), the professor should fulfil a KIDO 7 form so that the tax is not assessed in Slovenia but in his or her own country.

4.      RESEARCHERS

From the EU

Entry and residence:

Researches who come to Slovenia to make research and who are at the same time paid for their work here must register at an administrative division due to work or employment.

Entry and residence:

Researchers who are not paid for their work in Slovenia must prior to their entry into Slovenia obtain a temporary residence permit for work in the area of research and higher education (ZTuj-2, Art. 38). The application may be filed by the researcher alone or by the research institution at the Slovene embassy in his or her own country.

Pursuant to Article 13 of the Higher Education Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 56/25), higher education institutions must conduct a direct interview regarding the candidate’s suitability in relation to the admission requirements of the study programme with any foreign national who submits an application for enrolment in higher education studies in the Republic of Slovenia and comes from a country with higher migration risk.

Countries with higher migration risk are considered to be those whose citizens are required to hold a visa when crossing the external borders of the European Union, in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Slovenia and the European Union.

The interview shall be conducted prior to any further professional and administrative assessment of the candidate’s application for enrolment. If the higher education institution reasonably suspects that the candidate does not possess the knowledge demonstrated by the documents submitted with the application, the candidate’s application shall be rejected. No appeal shall be permitted against such decision.

The purpose of the interview is to determine whether the candidate demonstrates a genuine interest in studying in the selected study programme and whether the candidate understands the content and requirements of the programme to which they are applying. The interview also assesses the candidate’s language proficiency for successful participation in the study programme, the suitability of the candidate’s previous education in relation to the selected study programme, and the connection between the candidate’s study plans and their future academic and career goals.

Invitation to the Interview

The candidate shall receive an invitation to the interview at the email address provided in the enrolment application submitted through the eVŠ information system.

The invitation shall include:

• the date and time of the interview,
• instructions for the interview procedure,
• a link to the online platform for conducting the interview,
• technical requirements for participation,
• information regarding payment of the interview fee.

The interview shall be conducted remotely via the Zoom online platform and in the English language.

Payment of Interview Costs

For the conduct of the interview, the candidate shall be charged an interview fee in the amount of EUR 50,00 which the candidate must pay within the deadline and in the manner specified in the interview invitation.

Proof of payment must be submitted by the candidate no later than 24 hours before the interview to the email address specified in the invitation. If the candidate fails to pay the interview fee within the prescribed deadline, the application for enrolment shall be rejected.

The interview fee shall not be refunded:

• regardless of the interview result,
• if the candidate does not attend the interview,
• if the interview cannot be successfully conducted due to technical issues on the candidate’s side,
• if the candidate fails to ensure appropriate conditions for conducting the interview,
• or if the candidate fails to submit proof of payment within the required deadline.

 Conduct of the Interview

 For the purpose of the interview, the candidate must ensure:

• a stable internet connection,
• a computer or other suitable device,
• a functioning camera and microphone,
• a quiet environment for conducting the interview.

Before the interview begins, the admissions office shall verify the candidate’s identity. The candidate shall identify themselves using a valid passport, which must be shown to the camera. If the candidate’s identity cannot be verified, or if the passport data do not match the information provided in the enrolment application, the interview shall be terminated and the candidate’s application rejected.

If the candidate:

• fails to complete the interview,
• does not attend the interview,
• fails to ensure appropriate technical conditions,
• causes repeated interruptions of the interview due to technical issues on their side,
• or fails to pay the interview fee in due time,

the competent authority of the faculty member institution shall issue a decision rejecting the enrolment application. No appeal shall be permitted against such decision.

Interview Result

The candidate shall be informed of the interview result by email.

A candidate who successfully completes the interview shall continue with the enrolment application assessment procedure. This does not constitute automatic admission to the study programme, as the candidate must also fulfil all other admission requirements specified in the call for enrolment.

If the candidate does not successfully complete the interview, or if the higher education institution reasonably determines that the candidate does not demonstrate appropriate knowledge in relation to the submitted supporting documents, the candidate’s application shall be rejected. No appeal shall be permitted against such decision.

The interview result shall be valid only for the individual academic year and for all applications submitted by the candidate within the same call for enrolment.
