A Study Permit Issued for a Year at a Time, Where the Money May Come From the School or From a Parent's Written Undertaking - and the Years Count Half

Answer

The general rule applies to you

No exception is recorded for citizens of Portugal 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 Portugal to Slovenia · Residency as a student

Article 44 of ZTuj-2 issues a temporary residence permit for study to someone admitted to a publicly recognised education or study programme, taking part in an international exchange at a recognised provider, or in a training programme run by a state-authorised organisation. The means test is the ordinary one - at least the basic amount of minimum income each month, 507.43 EUR from 1 March 2026 - but the proof is unusually relaxed: funds the educational organisation gives the student count, and so does a written statement from the parents that they will support the student, where the law of the student's own nationality obliges them to. The permit is issued for the length of the study and never for more than one year, and it is renewed a year at a time. The school may lodge the application itself and may act in the procedure, though the permit must be served on the student. Applications for study permits are handled as a priority. The sting is in article 52(1): time spent on a study permit counts only half towards the five years for permanent residence.

At a glance

Permit length
The length of the study, and never more than one year

Article 44(2) of ZTuj-2, which also provides for renewal a year at a time.

Means
At least the basic amount of minimum income each month

Article 44(1) of ZTuj-2, which repeats the article 33(3) floor and names the alternative proofs.

What that is
507.43 EUR a month from 1 March 2026

The adjusted basic amount of minimum income, set by the government's decision published in the Uradni list on 24 February 2026; the statutory base in article 8(1) of ZSVarPre is 392.75 EUR.

Who may apply
The student or the educational organisation

Article 44(4) of ZTuj-2. The organisation may act in the procedure but the permit cannot be served on it.

Priority
Study applications are dealt with first

The last sentence of article 44(4) of ZTuj-2.

Counts towards permanent residence
Half

Article 52(1) of ZTuj-2 counts time on a study or vocational training permit at half rate towards the five years.

Requirements

  • Admission to a publicly recognised programme, or participation in an international exchange or a state-authorised training programme
  • Proof of admission issued by the educational organisation
  • Means of at least the basic amount of minimum income each month, which may be the school's funds or a parent's written undertaking
  • The conditions in article 33(3) of ZTuj-2: travel document, health insurance and means

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.

What applies to you

Nothing changes for a citizen of Portugal

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.

What the law says

The route and, unusually, the proofs: the school's own money and a parent's written undertaking both count.

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.

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.

The statutory base the adjustment works on, so a reader can see that 507.43 EUR is an adjusted figure and not the one in the Act. 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.

About 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.

Izdaje uradnega lista, izdane po 28.2.2026, so dostopne na PISRS". It cannot be cited for anything published after that date.
