About this Visa
This visa lets you from outside the EU work for foreign companies while living in Slovenia for 3-12 months. It is for people sent by their companies to provide services, not for jobs with Slovenian employers. There are three types: posted workers (your company sends you), independent professionals (self-employed with a contract), and economic interest (government approval). You can only work for foreign clients—you cannot work for Slovenian companies or local businesses. This visa is NOT for normal jobs with Slovenian companies. It is only for working with clients outside Slovenia.
