Single permit for a person transferred within a company (intra-corporate transfer)
Residency route facts
Identity
| Official name (local) | Enotno dovoljenje za osebo premeščeno znotraj gospodarske družbe as of 2026-08-25[5] |
|---|---|
| Official name (English) | Single permit for a person transferred within a company (intra-corporate transfer) as of 2026-08-25[5] Translation; no official English name is published. |
| Legal basis | Zakon o tujcih (ZTuj-2), 45.b člen; general conditions in the third odstavek of 33. člen as of 2026-08-25[5] The article number is the Ministry's own citation on its permit page. The operative text of article 45.b was not read – it sits behind the consolidated text's truncation point and ZTuj-2I does not amend it – so this rests on the administering ministry's statement of its own legal basis. |
| Instrument type | residence permit as of 2026-08-25[5] |
Who can apply
| Nationals not served by this route | EU, EEA as of 2026-08-25[2][4] |

| Maximum total duration | up to 3 years as of 2026-08-25[5] |
| Work rights | own activity only as of 2026-08-25[5] Work at the host entity in the transferred role. Article 35(5) of ZTuj-2 confines a purpose-bound permit to its purpose. |
Permanent residence and citizenship
| Counts toward permanent residence | Not established from a qualifying source Not established. The Ministry's permanent-residence page names study permits as the one basis counted at half weight and does not enumerate which temporary permits count in full, and the three-year total cap means the five-year threshold cannot be reached on this permit alone. |

Physical presence

|---|
Family inclusion
| Family members may be included | Yes as of 2026-08-25[3][9] Article 47(1) of ZTuj-2 recognises the right to family reunification for holders of a temporary residence permit; seasonal workers and daily cross-border migrants are excluded by the same paragraph. |
|---|---|
| Eligible relations | spouse, registered partner, unmarried partner, minor child, adult dependent child, parent as of 2026-08-25[6][8] Article 47(3) of ZTuj-2 defines family members as the spouse, the partner in a registered or civil partnership or a partner in a long-lasting life community; the foreigner's minor unmarried children; the minor unmarried children of that spouse or partner; the parents of a minor foreigner with whom the foreigner lived in a family community before coming to Slovenia; and adult unmarried children and parents of the foreigner or of the spouse or partner whom they are obliged to support under the law of their state of nationality. |
| Family may apply at the same time | Yes as of 2026-08-25[3][9] The fourth sentence of article 47(1) of ZTuj-2, as replaced by article 29 of ZTuj-2I, names this permit's holder among those who may reunite family members with no limit tied to the length of their residence in Slovenia or to the validity of their permit. The Ministry's family-member page confirms it and adds the limit: a foreigner in Slovenia on a SHORT-term transfer (type C, article 45.č) cannot reunite family at all – 'Tujec na kratkotrajni premestitvi (tip C) ne more združevati družine!' |
| Family members' work rights | Not established from a qualifying source Not free access. A holder of a family-member permit who wants to work needs an informativni list obtained through an employer, which the Employment Service issues after a labour-market test; the Employment Service's free-access list does not include family members of an ordinary permit holder. |
