One Permit for Residence and Work, Issued Only After the Employment Service Has Looked at the Unemployment Register and at the Employer's Bank Account

Answer

The general rule applies to you

No exception is recorded for citizens of Ecuador 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 Ecuador to Slovenia · Residency through work

Work residence in Slovenia is a single document. Article 37 of ZTuj-2 issues an enotno dovoljenje za prebivanje in delo that lets the holder enter, live and work, and it is granted where the applicant meets the conditions every permit shares and where the employment service consents under the Act on the employment of foreign nationals. The first permit runs for the term of the contract and never more than two years; a renewal may run to three. The consent is where the real test sits, and it is a labour-market test with a solvency test attached: article 17(1) of ZZSDT asks that there be no suitable unemployed person on the register, that the employer be properly registered, not in liquidation or bankruptcy, and actively trading - which means either a full-time employee insured for six months, or the employer insured as a sole trader for six months, or receipts of at least 10,000 EUR in each of the last six months into a Slovene account - that the employer's withholding returns be filed and its tax paid, that the quota not be used up, and that a signed contract of employment be attached. ZZSDT-E added a ninth condition in 2025: no dismissals for business reasons in the last six months, waived if the employer pays at least last year's average gross wage. An employer registered for less than six months may qualify instead by having invested at least 50,000 EUR, and a graduate-level applicant escapes the trading test altogether.

At a glance

First permit
The term of the contract, and never more than two years

Article 37(3) of ZTuj-2.

Renewal
Up to three years

Article 37(4) of ZTuj-2, which also ties the renewal to the term of the contract.

EU Blue Card
Two years first, three on renewal

Article 39(2) and 39(3) of ZTuj-2; where the contract is shorter the card runs three months beyond it.

Labour market test
No suitable unemployed person on the register

Point 1 of article 17(1) of ZZSDT, which is the first of the conditions the employment service checks.

Employer turnover test
10,000 EUR a month for six months, or six months of insuring one full-time employee

Point 4 of article 17(1) of ZZSDT. An employer registered less than six months may instead show an investment of at least 50,000 EUR under article 17(2).

Waived for graduates
The trading test, under article 17(3) of ZZSDT

ZZSDT-E replaced the words at least higher education with a qualification at level 7 of the Slovene qualifications framework.

Changing employer
Allowed on a fresh consent, decided within 15 days

Article 37(5) and 37(6) of ZTuj-2. Silence is neither consent nor refusal, which is stated in terms.

Self-employment
Only after one year of continuous lawful residence

Article 37.b(1) of ZTuj-2 and article 15(2) of ZZSDT; article 15(3) exempts someone entered in the business register as carrying on an independent profession.

Requirements

  • The conditions in article 33(3) of ZTuj-2: a travel document valid three months beyond the stay, health insurance, and means
  • A signed contract of employment, attached to the employer's application
  • Consent from the Zavod Republike Slovenije za zaposlovanje, unless ZZSDT says consent is not needed
  • No suitable unemployed person on the register for the post
  • An employer that is registered, solvent and actively trading on one of the three tests in article 17(1) of ZZSDT

In detail

The test the employer has to pass

Slovenia does something that the guidance about working here rarely says out loud: most of the conditions are about the employer, not about the worker. Of the nine points in article 17(1) of ZZSDT, one is about whether a suitable unemployed person exists, one is about whether the worker meets what the employer asks, one is about the contract, and the rest are about the employer's registration, solvency, trading history, tax returns and dismissal record. A worker with a job offer from a company that has been trading for five months and has not invested 50,000 EUR cannot be consented to, however well qualified.

Self-employment is a second step, not a first

Article 37.b(1) of ZTuj-2 and article 15(2) of ZZSDT both say the same thing: a foreign national may become self-employed after one year of continuous lawful residence. The exception in both is narrow - someone entered in the business register as carrying on an independent profession. So the ordinary path to running your own business here is to arrive on something else and convert after a year.

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.

Practical notes

Read off ZTuj-2 as officially consolidated on 18 June 2025 and off ZZSDT as officially consolidated on 20 May 2021, with ZZSDT-E read separately because it changed article 17 after that consolidation. ZZSDT-D was read only for the list of articles it amends; it does not touch article 15, article 17(1) points 1 to 8, or article 41.

The last official consolidation of ZZSDT predates two amending Acts. Any quotation from it is the text as it stood in 2021 and is cited that way.

We did not read the regulation the government may make under article 41 of ZZSDT, so this record does not say whether a quota is in force or what it is.
