Buying real estate in Slovenia, EU

Foreigners are very interested in buying property in Slovenia. But except for citizens of OECD member states, non-EU foreigners cannot buy real estate as natural persons. This means that they have to register a company in order to buy real estate and later rent it. They can register an LTD company with 7.500€ share capital. After company registration, you can buy property and afterwards find suitable tenants to rent the property to.
