Short answers to the questions Macedonian students ask most about studying and living in Slovenia. Full detail and official sources live in the Student Welcome Guide.
+
+
+
+
Admission and enrolment
+
+ How do I apply to a faculty through the eVŠ portal?
+
+
You submit your application online on the national eVŠ portal, in the round and with the login method that apply to foreign applicants.
+
+
+ What are the application deadlines and rounds for 2026/2027?
+
+
Foreign applicants apply in their own rounds, bachelor’s usually opens in spring and master’s deadlines are set by each faculty, so always confirm the current dates for your programme.
+
+
+ As a Macedonian applicant, which round and conditions apply to me?
+
+
You apply as a non-EU (third-country) applicant, usually competing for a limited number of foreign-student places rather than in the general Slovenian round.
+
+
+ How many non-EU places does my programme have?
+
+
Some programmes reserve only a handful of places for non-EU students (competitive fields like dentistry may take just one or two), so check your programme and keep a backup option.
+
+
+ Do I need a B2 Slovenian language certificate?
+
+
Only a few programmes require a B2 Slovene certificate, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, psychology, film/directing and journalism, while most others do not.
+
+ Does my Macedonian diploma need recognition before I can enrol?
+
+
Yes, the university you apply to assesses your previous Macedonian education as part of admission, so you submit your diplomas and transcripts with your application.
+
+
+ Which documents should I prepare and translate before I leave Macedonia?
+
+
Prepare and translate your diploma, transcripts, birth certificate and criminal-record certificate in advance, because it is much harder to obtain and legalise them once you are in Slovenia.
+
+ Is study free for me as a Macedonian, or do I pay tuition?
+
+
Under the Slovenia and Macedonia bilateral agreement, full-time bachelor’s and master’s study at public universities is tuition-free for Macedonian citizens (self-funded or second programmes may still be charged).
+
+ Do I need a visa to enter Slovenia, or is the residence permit enough?
+
+
As a Macedonian citizen you can enter visa-free for short stays, but to study you need a temporary residence permit for study, which you normally arrange before you move.
You typically need your enrolment certificate, a valid passport, proof of sufficient means, health insurance, a criminal-record certificate and the required fees.
+
+
+ How much must I prove as "sufficient means", and does a parent’s statement count?
+
+
You must show around €507,43 per month, the Slovenian basic minimum income from 1 April 2026 (check the current amount), and a parent’s notarised statement of support is the usual, durable way to prove it.
+
+
+ How long is the permit valid and how do I renew it each year?
+
+
The permit is issued for your study year and must be renewed annually, submit the renewal by 30 September (you can apply up to about 60 days before it expires), because missing that turns it into a brand-new application.
+
+ What is RM/SI 3 and do I need it for health cover?
+
+
RM/SI 3 is the certificate from the two-country procedure that gives you basic health cover in Slovenia based on your Macedonian insurance, and yes, you need it.
+
+
+ Am I insured from day one, and what insurance do I need for the permit?
+
+
You need valid health insurance in place for your residence permit, so arrange the RM/SI 3 cover (and optional complementary insurance) before or right after you arrive.
+
+ How do I register for subsidised student meals, and am I eligible?
+
+
Yes, students with valid status (including foreign students) can use subsidised meals (boni), you register once online with your student data and a phone or chip card.
+
+
+ How do I get the subsidised public-transport ticket, and am I eligible?
+
+
Students can buy the subsidised IJPP intercity ticket regardless of how far you live from your faculty, you apply with your student status, and city transport (like Urbana in Ljubljana) is added on top.
+
+ Can I work while studying on a student residence permit?
+
+
Yes, student work through a napotnica (referral) is allowed on a student residence permit; a full employment contract is different and needs a change of permit.
+
+
+ How do I get an EMŠO and a Slovenian tax number, and why do I need them?
+
+
You obtain an EMŠO (personal ID number) and a tax number from the administrative unit and the financial office (FURS); you need them to open a bank account, work and handle most admin.
+
+
+ What is the difference between student work and full employment?
+
+
Student work via napotnica is flexible and allowed on your study permit, while regular employment is a formal job that generally requires changing your permit from study to work.
+
+ What must I sort out in my first week after arriving?
+
+
In your first days you register your address, sort out health insurance, get your EMŠO and tax number, open a bank account and activate meals and transport.

Curious about what MSOS is all about? This video tells our story, fast, fun, and from the heart. See what makes MSOS special in our video, and hit “Learn more” to be part of the story.
We know moving to a new country can feel overwhelming, so we’re here to make it easier. From helping you with university applications to finding your way around student life in Slovenia, you can always count on us. We offer free consultations, answer your questions on Instagram and Facebook (yes, even late at night), and host events where you can meet others and hear real experiences first-hand. With mentorship, info sessions, and a friendly community by your side, you’ll never have to go through the journey alone.
If you are applying for or renewing a student residence permit in Slovenia, you must prove you have enough money to support yourself. That requirement is tied to Slovenia’s basic minimum income (osnovni znesek minimalnega dohodka).
+
From 1 April 2026 this basic minimum income is €507,43 per month. This is the amount you should be ready to show for the whole academic year, most commonly through a parent’s written statement of support, or through other accepted proof such as a scholarship, bank funds, or student-work earnings.
+
Because the figure follows the minimum income, it can change again. Always confirm the current official amount with your upravna enota (administrative unit) before you submit, and ask how they calculate the period and which evidence they accept.
