First Step: Enrollment Procedures
Candidates wishing to enroll in Slovenian programs for the coming academic year 2021/2022 can do so from April 1st. In case of needing assistance with picking the right university, faculty, and courses, our experts are available and can advise students prior to initiating the enrollment procedure. The second round for enrollment will start in September 2021.
In Slovenia, we have a national system for the application and the procedure is ongoing under strict national rules.
Next Step: Student Residence Permits
In order to apply for a residence permit on basis of education, one of the key requirements is to receive confirmation of enrollment to a Slovenian university. There are two ways to apply for a student residence permit. For the students who can travel to Slovenia, our assistance includes submitting the whole package of documents to the administration unit in Slovenia. In case that a student is unable to arrive in Slovenia beforehand to receive the residence permit card, we remotely assist and guide the student with all the necessary preparations and documents while the student receives the card in the Slovenian embassy of their home country.
