PLAN YOUR ERASMUS

TEMPORARY RESIDENCE - FOREIGN EMPLOYEES

It is our pleasure to warmly welcome you in Slovenia.

Slovenia supports the integration of international researchers and employees. We have prepared a short guide to help you before your arrival to Slovenia and later to integrate into the Slovenian environment and work.

The processes you need to go through depending on your personal circumstances and expectations. Generally, your country of origin will determine the procedures to a great extent, but you will have to make some decisions. If you have a double citizenship of EU and non-EU country, we recommend  you choose the procedure for EU citizens.

The information here is for informative purposes. It has been gathered by the people working at universities and other research institutions to the best of their knowledge. Procedures and specific issues change quickly. We are doing our best to update them regularly, however, please be aware that there is a slight chance that some possible changes have not yet been included to this website.
