Slovenia is a fantastic country. Slovenia has an incredibly diverse country side offering everything from skiing and mountain lakes to the Adriatic Sea within a short drive of anywhere in the country. It's people are gracious and welcoming and capitalism is beginning to thrive in this newest entry into the European Union.  In short, I love Slovenia!

The capital of Slovenia is Ljubljana (pronounced Lube'-lee-yanna). With a population approaching 300,000 for the greater metropolitan are, Ljubljana is progressive, bustling with activity and rich with culture yet manages to maintain it's historic ambience as well. It's truly a great place to live and build a business.

As great a place as Slovenia is to live and work, it is not without it's special challenges for the international entrepreneur. A young government working to distance itself from the weight of bureaucracy created through nearly half a century of Yugoslavia's unique form of socialism and communism, encourages an influx of new businesses but has not yet fully realized how to create an easy path for their entry. For example, every government form an international entrepreneur will need to set up business in Slovenia is written in Slovenian, of course. Unless you read Slovenian, this will present a problem for you. That is where Slovenian Services comes in. We have been where you need to go and we stand at the ready to assist you in many ways, including having most government forms available to you in English, German and Italian so you can get down to the business of building your business here in Slovenia quickly and smoothly saving you time, money and frustration.

Immigration

Qualifying for a temporary residency permit is not particularly difficult. Assuming you don't have a criminal record and can provide proof of modest economic means, you can get a one year renewable permit to live and work in Slovenia.

Although the qualifications are relatively easy to meet, finding your way through the forms and providing all the documentation exactly as the rigid government policies require is a challenging task if you don't know the ropes. There is only one kind of person who can fully understand every aspect of the process and the easiest way to accomplish it and that is someone who has been there before you, doing what you need to do. We at Slovenian Services are unique in our understanding of this entire process having been everywhere you need to go and blazed a path for you. We take the mystery and the frustration out of the process.

Business Formation

To start doing business in Slovenia, you will need to establish your sole proprietorship or corporation. This is quite a complex process if you don't know the way through the maze. For example Slovenian Services turns a five step process involving 4 separate locations with forms in Slovenian only, into a two step process with forms in your language. We can guide you through the process or we can do it for you through one of our affiliates. In business, time is money and we will save you both by getting your business formed as quickly as possible and with a minimum of inconvenience and frustration. We even help you get your work permit, another requirement from yet another agency in yet another part of town.

Government Insurance

Once your business is established and your residency permit is issued, you are not done yet. Now you can sign up for the government sponsored health insurance, supplemental health insurance if you want it, plus you can look forward to maintaining your relationship with the government, as in any country, through the payment of various taxes. Here once again, Slovenian Services stands ready to help you here as well with advice and affiliates ready to support your success in Slovenia.

Tax Numbers

In Slovenia you will be identified by two primary numbers, your tax ID and your "social number". Naturally, these are not obtained at the same time, in the same order or in the same building. Don't worry though, we know when, how and where to go to get these most important numbers. Everything is easy with Slovenian Services.
