Work of representatives of over 90 days

For whom do we grant consent?

Consent for the work of a representative for more than 90 days is granted for representation:

of a sole trader,
of a legal entity established under the Companies Act, or
of a Slovenian branch of a foreign company where a foreign national wants to get the employment or work.

Under what conditions do we grant consent?

Consent for the work of a representative for more than 90 days in a calendar year is granted if the following conditions are met:

doing business actively as an employer or hirer means:
- that you have had at least one person in full-time employment and registered in the compulsory social insurance schemes for at least six months prior to the submission of the application or
- that you have been registered as an individual to pursue an activity and registered in the compulsory social insurance schemes for at least six months prior to the submission of the application or
- that you recorded receipts from business operations amounting to at least EUR 10,000 in the transaction account in Slovenia each month during the six-month period before the application was submitted;
that you have no outstanding tax liabilities;
that the representative is entered in the relevant register;
that you have attached an employment contract (if you are the employer) or a civil law contract (if you are the hirer);
that the annual quota of consent to the single permit, which can be determined by the Slovenian government to limit the number of foreign nationals on the labour market has not been used up.

If you have been registered for a period of less than 6 months and you want to be granted consent, you must invest at least EUR 50,000 before submitting the application for a single permit in the activity in which a foreign national is to carry out work.
