A Year of Residence Before You Can Bring a Spouse, Survival-Level Slovene Before You Can Renew Their Permit, and Three Years of Marriage Before Citizenship

Answer

The general rule applies to you

No exception is recorded for citizens of Venezuela on this topic. That is the answer, not a gap - everything below is the rule you get, unchanged.

154 exceptions recorded across 56 countries · none match Venezuela to Slovenia · Residency through marriage

Family reunification in Slovenia is a right of the sponsor rather than of the spouse, and it is earned. Article 47(1) of ZTuj-2 gives the right to a foreign national with permanent residence, and to one who has lived here for the last year on a temporary permit issued with a validity of at least a year. Seasonal workers and daily cross-border commuters are excluded outright. A short list of holders may reunite with no waiting at all: EU Blue Card holders, researchers, intra-corporate transferees, people whose residence is in the interest of the Republic, digital nomads, people of Slovene descent under article 48, and people who were on temporary protection immediately before. Family member is defined in article 47(3) and includes a partner in a registered or long-term de facto union, which is wider than many of its neighbours. The sponsor must show means for the family members, not below the level that gives entitlement to social assistance. The condition that catches people out is in the same paragraph: on renewal, an adult family member must show Slovene at survival level. Marriage reaches citizenship separately and slowly - article 12(3) of ZDRS asks for three years of marriage to a Slovene citizen and one year of actually living here, and unlike the descent route it does require release from the existing citizenship.

At a glance

Waiting period before you can sponsor
One year on a permit valid for at least a year

Article 47(1) of ZTuj-2; time on a certificate of a lodged application counts towards the year.

Who waits nothing
Blue Card holders, researchers, intra-corporate transferees, digital nomads and people of Slovene descent

The fourth sentence of article 47(1) of ZTuj-2, which lists them.

Who may never sponsor
Seasonal workers and daily cross-border commuters

The second sentence of article 47(1) of ZTuj-2 refuses them the right in terms.

Who counts as family
Spouse, registered or long-term partner, minor children, and dependent adult children and parents

Article 47(3) of ZTuj-2, which also lets the authority treat another relative as family in special circumstances.

Language on renewal
Slovene at survival level

Article 47(5) of ZTuj-2, waived for an applicant over 60 and for someone schooled in Slovene.

Permit length
As long as the sponsor's permit, and never more than two years

Article 47(6) of ZTuj-2.

Citizenship by marriage
Three years married and one year living here

Article 12(3) of ZDRS, which also imports point 2 of article 10(1) - the release from the existing citizenship.

Requirements

  • A sponsor with permanent residence, or with a year of residence on a temporary permit valid for at least a year
  • That the sponsor is not here on a seasonal work permit or as a daily cross-border commuter
  • Means for the family members, not below the social assistance level
  • On renewal: Slovene at survival level for each adult family member
  • For citizenship: three years of marriage to a Slovene citizen and one year of actually living in Slovenia

Country-level policy

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.

Five Years Buys You the Right to Sit an Exam: Permanent Residence Requires Slovene at A2, and the Years Are Not All Counted the Same

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.

The First Temporary Permit Has to Be Got Before You Enter, Unless the Act Says Otherwise - and for Three Routes It Does

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.

The State Pays for the Slovene Course and for One Attempt at the Exam, and the Entitlement Turns on Holding a Permit Valid for a Year

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.

What applies to you

Nothing changes for a citizen of Venezuela

We have no rule recorded that treats your citizenship differently here, so the general rule above is the one that applies to you. That is an answer, not a gap.

Practical notes

Read off article 47 of ZTuj-2 as officially consolidated on 18 June 2025 and off article 12 of ZDRS in the state legal information system's unofficial consolidation number 11.

Article 47 was amended by ZTuj-2I and the amended text applies from 21 November 2025, six months after that Act came into force, under article 97(3) of ZTuj-2I. The consolidated text prints the amended version.

Articles 47.a and 47.b carry family reunification for recognised refugees and for holders of subsidiary protection on different terms. They were read and are not written up here.
