Temporary residence permit on the basis of student mobility
Residency route facts
Identity
| Official name (local) | Dovoljenje za začasno prebivanje na podlagi mobilnosti študentov as of 2026-08-25[2] The Ministry's published page heading. The card itself records the permit as a study residence permit with the type entered as 'študent – mobilnost'. |
|---|---|
| Official name (English) | Temporary residence permit on the basis of student mobility as of 2026-08-25[2] Translation; no official English name is published. |
| Legal basis | Zakon o tujcih (ZTuj-2), 44.a člen as of 2026-08-25[2] The Ministry's own citation; article 44.a itself was not read, though ZTuj-2I article 23 amends its first paragraph to add that funds the educational organisation allocates to the student count as proof of the means condition. |
| Instrument type | residence permit as of 2026-08-25[2] A permit, notwithstanding that the trigger is a notification rather than an application form. The Ministry states that there is no prescribed form and that a written official notification is what is required, and then that where the administrative unit permits the residence it issues the student a temporary residence permit for study with the type entered as 'študent – mobilnost', collected in person as a card. |
Who can apply
| Nationals not served by this route | EU, EEA as of 2026-08-25[1][3] |
|---|---|
| Minimum age | Not established from a qualifying source Not established. |
| Criminal-record condition | Not established from a qualifying source Not established; no criminal-record certificate is listed. |
Permit terms
| Initial duration | up to 360 days as of 2026-08-25[2] Issued for the duration of the mobility as set in the mobility programme or in the institution's certificate, but for not more than 360 days and not longer than the study residence permit issued in the other EU member state remains valid. The figure is 360 days rather than a year and is recorded as published. |
|---|---|
| How the initial term is set | length of the programme |
| Renewable | Not established from a qualifying source Not established. The Ministry states that the permit is not intended for long-term residence in Slovenia and that on expiry the student must leave or obtain another permit, but it does not say in terms that extension is impossible. |
| Work rights | Not established from a qualifying source Not established. The Ministry's page says nothing about work either way, and the study permit's own answer cannot simply be carried across because this permit rests on another member state's permit rather than on Slovenian enrolment. |
Permanent residence and citizenship
| Counts toward permanent residence | Not established from a qualifying source Not established. |
|---|
Requirements
| Enrolment status required | admitted as of 2026-08-25[2] Proof of admission to the Slovenian institution stating the expected duration of the study within the mobility, plus proof of inclusion in a mobility programme such as Erasmus+ or comparable, plus a study residence permit issued in another EU member state and valid for the whole intended stay in Slovenia. |
|---|---|
| Means requirement | 1 × basic amount of minimum income per month as of 2026-08-25[2] Article 33(3) of ZTuj-2: sufficient means of subsistence for the period of residence, monthly at least in the amount of the basic minimum income in the Republic of Slovenia. The general condition on every temporary residence permit; the Ministry's page for this permit repeats it without an amount of its own. |
| Post-study route exists | Not established from a qualifying source Not established. The students' job-search permit under article 44.b requires studies completed at a Slovenian institution, which a mobility student ordinarily has not done, but the Ministry does not address the case. |
Process
| Where to apply from | from abroad only as of 2026-08-25[2] The notification must be sent before the intended entry into Slovenia, and students coming from EU states not fully applying the Schengen acquis must present a copy of it at the border. |
|---|---|
| Statutory processing time | Not established from a qualifying source Not established for a positive decision. The Ministry publishes a period for the negative case only: a decision refusing the mobility is issued at once and at the latest within 30 days of receipt of a complete notification. |
| Quota |
|
Physical presence
| registration only | to keep the permit as of 2026-08-25[1] Temporary residence must be registered with the administrative unit within eight days of entry, of service of the document, or of taking up residence. |
|---|
Family inclusion
| Family members may be included | Not established from a qualifying source Not established; the Ministry's page says nothing about family members. |
