Acquiring a digital noma visa is one way people who are lucky enough to work remotely have been changing things up the last couple of years, and a new country has joined the ever-growing list of nations offering one.
The country in question? Slovenia, the central European nation popular for its dreamy lakes, pretty mountains and general tranquil aura.
Those interested in relocating won’t need to wait long, as Slovenia’s digital nomad visa is launching from November 1, 2025.
It will grant successful applicants a one-year permit to live in the country, as long as they’re working for a business based outside of Slovenia as an employee or a freelancer, or someone who’s self-employed providing services to clients based outside Slovenia.

Anyone from a non-EU and non-EEA country can apply, and while family members can join, they must abide by the same rules in terms of employment. Break these rules, and you’re out – it could lead not only to visa cancellation but also restrictions on future entry.
Twelve months is the cap and you aren’t allowed to renew your visa, however, you are allowed to reapply after a six-month break from the country. There’s also a requirement to prove you have enough income to support yourself, either by submitting pay slips, bank statements or employment documents.
We don’t know yet if there will be an income threshold or a visa fee, so stay tuned for updates on those details.
Keen to get involved? You’ll be able to apply either by doing so at a Slovenian embassy or at a local administrative unit if you’re already in the country, according to the Economic Times.
