Reunion with family members in Slovenia is possible if you have lived in Slovenia for at least 1 year and extended your residence permit for another 1 year (12 months) or have a permanent residence permit in Slovenia.
The owners of blue cards, researchers as well as employees of higher educational institutions can receive a residence permit for the members of their families without waiting a year.
In addition to meeting the conditions, to obtain a residence permit based on a family reunion in Slovenia, the applicant (a residence permit holder) will need to support its application with the documents confirming the family ties, health insurance for family members, and proof of financial solvency (€ 300 per month per person). It is also possible to attach a confirmation of the child’s admission to a school or a kindergarten in Slovenia.
An application for a temporary residence permit shall be applied either to the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia abroad or to an administrative-territorial authority, in the territory of which you reside.
If your child has reached school age (i.e. in the current calendar year he/she turns 6 years old), he/she can obtain a residence permit on the basis of school enrolment. School education in Slovenia for all foreigners is compulsory and free. Learn more about the peculiarities of the Slovenian school system and the enrolment of children to school by reading this article.
Since visiting a kindergarten in Slovenia is not required, the residence permit on the basis of enrolment in a kindergarten cannot be issued to a child. The only sure way to obtain a residence permit for a preschooler is his/her reunion with a family member, who has already extended his/her residence permit for the 2nd year.
