Work permit for majority owners

A foreigner, who establishes or co-establishes a company with share capital (d.o.o) in which he/she, as the investor, holds the majority share (at least 51%) and he/she wishes to be employed in such a company, must acquire a work permit without assessing the situation on the labour market in Slovenia.

The procedure for issuing such a permit is similar to other work permits, though the main benefit is that such a permit is issued without verifying the existence of appropriate national candidates and without verifying the investor’s operation for the previous 6 months.

On the basis of such a permit, the foreigner can perform any activity for which the company has been registered in accordance with the job vacancies and the employment contract concluded between such an foreigner and the company.
