Investments for obtaining work and residence permit
There is more to the cost of opening a business than the initial investments. Especially in case you want to employ yourself. Or other foreigners, for that matter. Foreigners need a work and residence permit, to work and live in Slovenia. There are several ways of obtaining them. Our legal team can help you with that.
Anyway, it’s either going to take time or money. You have to prove that your company is actively operating. The cheaper way, without adding to the cost of opening a business is waiting 6 months. In this time you have to either:
- have a full time employee (from the EU), or
- have monthly revenue of €10.000.
The third option, however, is an investment. You can invest €50.000 into fixed assets and prove your activity right away. If you need help obtaining work and residence permits, our team of experts will be happy to do it for you.
