Residential property as a business opportunity in Slovenia, EU – establishing the company in Slovenia
Most non-EU citizens cannot purchase property in Slovenia as natural persons. Also, if you plan on using the property as a business activity, you would need to have a legal entity through which you would rent out this residential property.
A foreigner can establish a LTD company. For that the shareholders need to provide 7.500€ founding capital. Shareholders and representatives would also need Slovenian tax numbers to register the company. They all need to come to Slovenia to perform company registration and open the corporate bank account. Additionally, a company needs a business address where it would have official business seat.
With all those documents, you can make the act of establishment and open the temporary bank account of the company. To this account, you deposit 7.500€. The court registers the company within 3-5 business days after depositing the capital. Afterwards you would activate the permanent bank account and your company can officially start doing business.
