After graduating in Slovenia, non-EU students can apply for a temporary residence permit for up to 12 months to seek employment or start a business. This permit requires proof of graduation, financial means, and health insurance. If employed, graduates may transition to a work permit.
EU graduates enjoy unrestricted access to Slovenia’s job market. For long-term stays, securing a job leads to a work and residence permit. Slovenia’s policies encourage skilled talent retention, offering pathways to permanent residency after five years of continuous legal stay, including study periods.
