Family reunion

To#nbsp;immigrate to#nbsp;Slovenia, it#nbsp;is#nbsp;sufficient for one person to#nbsp;obtain a#nbsp;residence permit, and his or#nbsp;her close relatives can move on#nbsp;the conditions of#nbsp;family reunion#nbsp;— there is#nbsp;no#nbsp;need to#nbsp;look for other grounds. Under such a#nbsp;residence permit it#nbsp;is#nbsp;possible to#nbsp;use medical insurance, attend educational programs and courses. When employed, one needs to#nbsp;apply for a#nbsp;change of#nbsp;residence permit type.

Family reunion is#nbsp;allowed for:

The main requirement for obtaining a#nbsp;residence permit on#nbsp;the basis of#nbsp;reunion is#nbsp;the financial solvency of#nbsp;the person applying for reunion. In#nbsp;2023, there must be#nbsp;at#nbsp;least €#nbsp;669.83 per month for each family member. Also, from November 28, 2023, for obtaining and extending this type of#nbsp;residence permit it#nbsp;will be#nbsp;necessary to#nbsp;attach a#nbsp;Slovenian A1 level certificate.

But there is#nbsp;a#nbsp;nuance: it#nbsp;is#nbsp;possible to#nbsp;apply for a#nbsp;family reunion not earlier than after the applicant’s two years of#nbsp;residence in#nbsp;Slovenia. Let’s study the ways to#nbsp;immigrate as#nbsp;a#nbsp;family without waiting a#nbsp;year.

A#nbsp;spouse or#nbsp;parent can obtain a#nbsp;full residence permit together with you: become your business partner, open a#nbsp;company, enroll in#nbsp;an#nbsp;educational institution or#nbsp;get a#nbsp;job. After two years, you can change the basis for a#nbsp;residence permit and choose "family reunion" - this will allow your relative to#nbsp;stay in#nbsp;the country.

For children, the basis for the first residence permit can be#nbsp;studying at#nbsp;a#nbsp;Slovenian school, college or#nbsp;university, and for pre-school children we#nbsp;offer legal support in#nbsp;the processing of#nbsp;documents for the protection of#nbsp;children’s rights to#nbsp;live with their family.

The right to#nbsp;obtain a#nbsp;residence permit and citizenship also applies to#nbsp;the applicant’s relatives who are living under a#nbsp;reunion residence permit. The requirements for obtaining a#nbsp;residence permit are not so#nbsp;strict: when the main applicant receives a#nbsp;residence permit, his or#nbsp;her family members may submit an#nbsp;application after 2 years, of#nbsp;which it#nbsp;is#nbsp;possible to#nbsp;be#nbsp;absent from the country for a#nbsp;total of#nbsp;no#nbsp;more than 10 months and no#nbsp;more than 6 consecutive months. On#nbsp;other grounds, it#nbsp;is#nbsp;possible to#nbsp;leave Slovenia for up#nbsp;to#nbsp;10 months within 5 years.

Blue Card#nbsp;EU is#nbsp;a#nbsp;residence permit with the right to#nbsp;work for highly qualified foreigners who do#nbsp;not have citizenship in#nbsp;the European Union. The main criterion is#nbsp;a#nbsp;higher education in#nbsp;the required specialty.

The main advantages of#nbsp;the Blue Card:

If#nbsp;at#nbsp;the extension of#nbsp;the residence permit the employment contract will be#nbsp;concluded for less than 3 years, it#nbsp;will be#nbsp;prolonged for the duration of#nbsp;the contract plus three months. Therefore, after dismissal you will have time to#nbsp;find a#nbsp;new job and get the grounds to#nbsp;extend your residence permit.

Blue card is#nbsp;issued within 2−4 months. To#nbsp;get it, you will need:
