Three Conditions Sit Under Every Permit in the Act: a Passport Good for Three Months Past the Stay, Emergency Health Cover, and the Basic Amount of Minimum Income
Article 33(3) of ZTuj-2 is the provision that every other residence article points back to. It asks for a travel document whose validity runs at least three months beyond the intended stay; health insurance covering at least emergency services in Slovenia; and means of at least the basic amount of minimum income each month, or that subsistence be otherwise assured. For a permanent residence permit the travel document need only be valid. The same paragraph lists what may be shown as means - earnings, rights from employment or insurance excluding reimbursed expenses, income from property, income from capital and other sources, support from those legally obliged to maintain you, a scholarship, or funds in an account at a bank or savings bank in Slovenia or abroad - and that list is what makes the test satisfiable from abroad. The figure itself is not in ZTuj-2. Article 8(1) of ZSVarPre sets the basic amount of minimum income at 392.75 EUR and provides for it to be adjusted, and the government's decision of 24 February 2026 puts it at 507.43 EUR from 1 March 2026.

What the law says
«Tujec, ki želi prebivati v Republiki Sloveniji, mora imeti veljavno potno listino, katere veljavnost je najmanj tri mesece daljša od nameravanega prebivanja v Republiki Sloveniji, ustrezno zdravstveno zavarovanje, ki krije vsaj nujne zdravstvene storitve na območju Republike Slovenije, in zadostna sredstva za preživljanje v času prebivanja v državi oziroma mu mora biti preživljanje kako drugače zagotovljeno, mesečno najmanj v višini, kolikor znaša osnovni znesek minimalnega dohodka v Republiki Sloveniji.»About this source
The official gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, where an instrument gains force. Every Act, amending Act, government decree, ministerial rulebook and Constitutional Court decision is published here, and so is the uradno prečiščeno besedilo - the official consolidated text, which the National Assembly confirms by resolution under article 153 of its own rules of procedure and which then appears as a numbered item of a numbered issue. Two address shapes serve the same material and both answer an ordinary request without JavaScript. /glasilo-uradni-list-rs/vsebina/{YYYY}-01-{NNNN} is the item, where the number is the SOP identifier the state legal information system also uses, so an identifier found there resolves straight to the gazette text; a human-readable slug may follow the identifier and is optional. /_pdf/{YYYY}/Ur/u{YYYY}{NNN}.pdf is the whole issue as a PDF. From 1 March 2026 the gazette is published through pisrs.si instead, and single items from the new arrangement are served at https://pisrs.si/api/uradni-list/objava/u{YYYY}{NNNN}.pdf as one-item PDFs with a text layer. Readings for this corpus were taken directly rather than through the extraction service, because the item pages are ordinary HTML and the service adds nothing.
Standing: Issues the instrument
Cannot be cited for: **It issues; it does not maintain.** The gazette prints an instrument as it was published on the day and never updates it, so an amending Act and the Act it amends are two separate items and neither tells you what the law now says. The only current text of an Act is an official consolidation, and those are made when the National Assembly decides to make one: for the Aliens Act that is ZTuj-2-UPB15 of 24 June 2025 and current, but for the Citizenship Act it is ZDRS-UPB2 of 20 March 2007 and ten years behind ZDRS-E, for the Income Tax Act it is ZDoh-2-UPB7 of 28 February 2011, for the Health Care and Health Insurance Act ZZVZZ-UPB3 of 11 July 2006, and for the Act on employment of foreign nationals ZZSDT-UPB4 of 7 June 2021 with two amending Acts after it. **Never cite an official consolidation as the law in force without checking the amending Acts published since it**, and never treat the absence of a later consolidation as evidence that nothing changed. The site also prints, on every item page, that what it shows is archival under article 33 of the Act on the Official Gazette and that issues published after 28 February 2026 are on PISRS: "Prikazana vsebina je v skladu s 33. členom ZoUL arhivska. Izdaje uradnega lista, izdane po 28.2.2026, so dostopne na PISRS". It cannot be cited for anything published after that date.

«Osnovni znesek minimalnega dohodka znaša 392,75 eura in se usklajuje po zakonu, ki ureja usklajevanje transferjev posameznikom in gospodinjstvom v Republiki Sloveniji, uporablja pa se od prvega dne naslednjega meseca po uskladitvi.»Quoted from the state legal information system's unofficial consolidation. The page carries the warning that such a text is only an informative working aid for which the body accepts no liability; it is the only text of this Act kept current, because the last official consolidation is older than the amendments the Act now carries.
Read it at the sourceAbout this source
The Slovene state's legal information system, run by the government's legislation service. It is the only place that keeps the current text of an Act when the National Assembly has not made a recent official consolidation, which is most Acts: it publishes a neuradno prečiščeno besedilo, numbered in sequence, each carrying the list of instruments it incorporates and, usually, a Datum začetka uporabe - the date from which that version applies. pisrs.si is an Angular single-page application, so the text appears only once JavaScript has run and it is readable by the extraction service and not by an ordinary request; the stable human address is https://pisrs.si/pregledPredpisa?id={ZAKOnnnn}, and https://pisrs.si/pregledPredpisa?sop={YYYY-01-NNNN} resolves the same gazette identifier the Uradni list uses. Three file forms of each consolidation are served from https://pisrs.si/api/datoteke/integracije/{id} as HTML, DOCX and PDF, and the identifiers for them are printed in the page itself. There is also a search API that answers an ordinary POST without the proof-of-work the site applies elsewhere: POST https://pisrs.si/api/filter/filter with a body of the shape {"nazivZbirke":["Register predpisov"],"besedilo":{"word1":"\"<title>\"","word1InTitle":true}} returns the ZAKO identifier, the SOP and the dates for every matching instrument, and nazivZbirke "Neuradna prečiščena besedila" lists every consolidation of it with its stNpb. From 1 March 2026 it is also where the Uradni list itself is published.
Standing: Maintains the text in force
Cannot be cited for: **Its consolidated texts are explicitly not authoritative, and the site says so on every one of them**: "Opozorilo: Neuradno prečiščeno besedilo predpisa predstavlja zgolj informativni delovni pripomoček, glede katerega organ ne jamči odškodninsko ali kako drugače." - an unofficial consolidated text is merely an informative working aid for which the body accepts no liability. It is nevertheless the only current text of most Slovene Acts, because the official consolidations are years behind, so the right handling is to cite it and say what it is rather than to prefer a stale official text. This is the third time this corpus has met the problem, after Belgium's database frozen in 2002 and Czechia's informativní znění. **It cannot be cited for the text as enacted**: for that, go to the Uradni list item the consolidation lists. **It is not reliably readable.** The pages are rendered by the extraction service, and on 10 October 2026 two of them - ?id=ZAKO4697, the Income Tax Act, and ?id=ZAKO6655, the Act on employment of foreign nationals - came back as nothing but a loading spinner on four attempts across two hours, while larger pages on the same site rendered fully. A 223-byte reading from this publisher is a failed render, not a short document. The Income Tax Act was recovered from its consolidation PDF at /api/datoteke/integracije/358727643 instead. **The page interleaves furniture with the statute**: every article heading is followed by case-law labels ("Sodna praksa Vrhovnega sodišča") and bare CELEX numbers, and the markdown escapes list markers, so a quotation taken across an article boundary will contain text the legislator never wrote.

Practical notes
Read off article 33 of ZTuj-2 as officially consolidated on 18 June 2025, off ZSVarPre in the state legal information system's unofficial consolidation number 12, and off the government's adjustment decision of 24 February 2026.
The adjusted amount moves every March. A record quoting 507.43 EUR is a record of 2026 and has to be re-read against the next decision.
