A temporary residence permit, not a visa. Article 51.a of the Foreigners Act (ZTuj-2) has applied since 21 November 2025. The card is marked "digitalni nomad". It is issued for the length of the employment or civil-law contract, and for a self-employed applicant for one year or a shorter intended stay, but never for more than one year. It cannot be extended. Another digital-nomad permit can be requested six months after the previous one expires. During the permit the holder may apply for a different temporary residence permit. The income floor is not a fixed sum. It is twice the average monthly net salary last published in the Official Gazette. On 9 October 2026 that is EUR 3,390.68, twice the July 2026 net salary of EUR 1,695.34 (Uradni list RS, št. 1470/2026). Any lawful source of funds counts. Family members need further means; no extra amount is published. The annual figure is twelve times the monthly floor. Health insurance must cover at least emergency care in Slovenia. A criminal-record certificate from the home country is required, with proof of remote employment, a civil-law contract with an entity outside Slovenia, or self-employment abroad. The permit does not authorise work on the Slovenian labour market and does not need consent from the Employment Service. A lease is not on the application list. After the card is issued the holder registers an address with an administrative unit. File in person at a Slovenian embassy or consulate. Someone already staying legally in Slovenia on a passport, a residence permit from another EU state, a Schengen C visa or a Schengen D visa may file at any administrative unit before that stay ends, and then receives a filing certificate that counts as a temporary residence permit until the decision. There is no online filing. EU and EEA citizens are excluded. Fees below are the in-Slovenia tariff, which is the basis of the dollar figure: EUR 4.50 to file, EUR 50 for the temporary residence permit and EUR 15.47 for the card served in person (EUR 69.97). A card served by post is EUR 26.51. Each family member files a separate family-reunification permit on the same tariff. Family reunification is available immediately and can be filed with the nomad application. The embassy fee schedule was not confirmed. There is no special tax regime. A person present for more than 183 days in the tax year, or whose centre of personal and economic interests is in Slovenia, is a tax resident and is taxed on worldwide income. For 2026 the scale is 16, 26, 33, 39 and 50 percent; 50 percent applies above a net annual base of EUR 82,346.23. Proving tax residence abroad can avoid registering as a Slovenian tax resident. Moving the family to Slovenia makes the holder resident from the day of entry. Dollar amounts use the ECB reference rate of 8 October 2026, EUR 1 = USD 1.1186. The 9 October fixing was not yet published.
