A Statutory Digital Nomad Permit, Priced at Twice the Average Net Wage, Good for One Year and Not Renewable
Slovenia put a digital nomad into its Aliens Act rather than into a ministry's practice. Article 51.a of ZTuj-2, inserted by ZTuj-2I and in application since 21 November 2025, issues a temporary residence permit to a non-EU, non-EEA national who works remotely over communications technology for an employer or a civil-law counterparty established outside Slovenia, or who is self-employed abroad. The money test is not the ordinary one every other permit uses: instead of the basic amount of minimum income it asks for twice the average monthly net wage in Slovenia as last published in the gazette, which on the last publication, for July 2026, is 1,695.34 EUR a month and so 3,390.68 EUR a month. The permit is issued for the term of the contract and in no case for more than a year, and article 51.a(5) says it cannot be extended at all: the holder may apply again only six months after it expires. There is no other passive-income route - the purposes in article 35(1) and the categories in article 35(2) are a closed list and living on an income from abroad is on it only as this.
At a glance
- Income required
- Twice the average monthly net wage last published
Fourth indent of article 51.a(1) of ZTuj-2, which sets the multiplier and names the gazette as the place the wage is published.
- What that is today
- 3,390.68 EUR a monthCALC (calculated by us, not published)as of 2026-09-23
Our arithmetic, not a figure anyone publishes: twice the 1,695.34 EUR average monthly net wage for July 2026, published by the Statistical Office in the Uradni list on 23 September 2026, which is the last such publication.
- Permit length
- The term of the contract, and never more than one year
Article 51.a(4) of ZTuj-2; a self-employed applicant gets one year, or the intended stay if shorter.
- Extension
- None available under article 51.a(5) of ZTuj-2
The same paragraph lets the holder apply afresh six months after the permit expires.
- Any other passive-income route
- None among the purposes in article 35(1) and the categories in article 35(2) of ZTuj-2
Both lists were read in full. The digital nomad is the only one of them that is about where your money comes from rather than what you do here.
- Family
- May be reunited with no waiting period
Article 47(1) of ZTuj-2 names the digital nomad among the holders who may bring family without the usual year of prior residence.
Figures marked CALC are our arithmetic, not a figure in any instrument. Where the law states a threshold as a multiple of something else, the amount shown is that multiple applied - and it moves when the underlying figure does.
Requirements
- That you are not an EU or EEA national, and that you work remotely for a business established outside Slovenia or are self-employed abroad
- A travel document valid at least three months beyond the intended stay
- Health insurance covering at least emergency care in Slovenia
- Means of at least twice the average monthly net wage last published in the Uradni list
- An application at a Slovene mission abroad, or in Slovenia if you are already here lawfully on a passport, another member state's permit, or a C or D visa
In detail
Why the threshold is not the one the rest of the Act uses
Every other residence permit in ZTuj-2 measures means against the basic amount of minimum income, which article 33(3) sets as the floor and which stands at 507.43 EUR a month from 1 March 2026. The digital nomad permit ignores that figure and asks for twice the average net wage instead, which is more than six times as much. The drafting is deliberate: the other permits ask whether you will become a burden, and this one asks whether you are bringing an income with you.
A year, then six months out
The permit cannot be extended and cannot be converted by extension into anything else. A holder who wants to stay has to qualify for a different permit on its own terms before this one runs out, or leave and wait six months. Because the time counts only half for study permits and not at all for seasonal and posted work, and counts in full here, a digital nomad year does count towards the five years for permanent residence - but a single non-renewable year cannot reach five on its own.
Country-level policy
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.
Article 52(1) of ZTuj-2 issues a permanent residence permit after five years of continuous lawful residence on a temporary permit, and adds a condition that is easy to miss in the length of the paragraph: command of Slovene at basic level, proved by a certificate of a passed examination at basic level, which the Act itself glosses as A2 of the Common European Framework. The examination has written, oral and listening parts and is run by institutions delivering the publicly recognised programme Slovene as a second and foreign language. The condition is deemed met by admission to a Slovene-language programme of recognised education here, by schooling completed here at any level, by schooling in Slovene in the areas of the autochthonous Slovene minority in neighbouring states, and by being over 60 or under 18. It does not apply at all to anyone who may have permanent residence before the five years - which includes people of Slovene descent. The five years themselves are counted unevenly: study and vocational training count half, seasonal work, posted work, intra-corporate transfer and daily commuting do not count at all, and absences break the period if they run six consecutive months or ten months in total.
Article 34(2) of ZTuj-2 states the default plainly: a foreign national must obtain the first temporary residence permit before entering the country, unless the Act provides otherwise. Article 34(3) lets the application be lodged at a Slovene mission abroad, or at the competent authority in Slovenia where the applicant is already lawfully resident or where the Act so provides. The first permit is issued with a validity of up to two years unless the Act says otherwise, and it is served in person. The exceptions are worth knowing because they are the only ways to turn a visit into a stay: a person of Slovene descent to the second degree may apply inside Slovenia within the ninety days under article 48(8); a digital nomad lawfully present on a passport, another member state's permit or a C or D visa may apply here under article 51.a(2); and a long-term resident of another member state and their family may apply here under article 48(3). In each case a certificate of the lodged application counts as a permit until the decision is final.
Article 106 of ZTuj-2 makes Slovenia provide free of charge to non-EU nationals: programmes of Slovene language and of learning about Slovene society, the sitting of the Slovene language examination, programmes of mutual acquaintance with Slovene citizens, and information about integration. The entitlement to one free place on the language and society programme belongs to holders of a permanent residence permit, holders of a temporary permit issued with a validity of at least one year, family members of Slovene or Union citizens residing on a family-member permit regardless of how long they have been here, and people on temporary protection. One free attempt at the examination comes with it. It is not open to people who finished schooling in Slovene here at any level, who are in a Slovene-language programme of regular education, or who already hold a certificate at basic level or above - which is to say, to anyone who has already passed the test it exists to prepare them for. The condition that decides most cases is the one-year validity: a permit issued for less than a year carries no entitlement, and the digital nomad permit under article 51.a(4) is issued for at most one year and may be shorter.
Exceptions by origin
A Union Citizen Living on an Income From Abroad Registers on Means and Insurance, With No Multiple of the Average Wage in Sight
The digital nomad permit in article 51.a of ZTuj-2 is closed to Union and EEA nationals by its own first indent, and they do not need it. Article 119(4) issues a certificate of registration in every case not covered by work, study or family on three conditions: a valid identity card or passport, means that are not monthly below the level set for entitlement to social assistance under the Act on social assistance benefits, and health insurance covering at least emergency services in Slovenia. The contrast with the third-country route is the whole point - the same question is answered at the social assistance floor rather than at twice the average net wage, and the registration can be renewed where the permit cannot.
- A valid identity card or passport
- Means not below the level for entitlement to social assistance
- Health insurance covering at least emergency services in Slovenia

The fourth indent is the money, and it is expressed as a multiple of a published wage rather than as an amount.

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.

Practical notes
Read off ZTuj-2 as officially consolidated on 18 June 2025, including the transitional provisions of ZTuj-2I printed at the end of it, and off the Statistical Office's wage publication of 22 September 2026.
The 3,390.68 EUR figure is ours. The Act states a multiplier and the gazette states a wage; nobody publishes the product, and it moves every time the Statistical Office publishes a new month.
The claim that there is no other passive-income route rests on the two lists in article 35, which were read in full. Article 51 of ZTuj-2 does allow a permit for other justified reasons, but it is granted on a reason recognised by law, treaty or international custom rather than on an income, and it runs for a year at most.
