Rebuild FAQ content from the scraped/brainstormed research set
Replace the ad-hoc FAQ questions with the curated P1 + strong-P2 set from research/faq-questions-and-rating.md: 33 questions across 9 sections, priority-ordered, including the MSOS third-country questions and concrete facts (free bachelor+master, B2 only for specific programmes, no entrance exam except art/architecture/sport/dental-prosthetics, 30 Sept renewal, 8-day address registration, non-EU quotas).

<div class="faq-a">
|

<p>Many master’s programmes are taught in English, but most bachelor’s programmes are in Slovene. For Slovene-taught programmes you usually need to prove Slovene knowledge (about B2). Always check the language of each programme before you apply.</p>

<div class="faq-a">
|

<p>As a Macedonian citizen you can enter Slovenia without a visa for short stays, but to study you must obtain a temporary residence permit for study. You normally apply before you arrive, at the Slovenian embassy.</p>

<a href="../student-welcome-guide/visa-and-residence-explained/">Read more in the guide <i class="fas fa-arrow-right" aria-hidden="true"></i></a>

<summary>Which documents should I prepare and translate before I leave Macedonia?</summary>
|

<div class="faq-a">
|

<p>You apply at the Slovenian embassy in Skopje (or at an administrative unit once in Slovenia), with your enrolment certificate, a valid passport, proof of means (about €484.88 per month), health insurance, a criminal record certificate and the required fees.</p>

<summary>Is study free for me as a Macedonian, or do I pay tuition?</summary>
|
||||
<div class="faq-a">
|
||||
<p>Most students spend roughly €455 to €850 per month depending on the city, including rent, food, transport and personal costs. Ljubljana is the most expensive; smaller cities are cheaper.</p>

<summary>Are there tuition fees, and can I get a scholarship?</summary>
|

<div class="faq-a">
|
||||
<p>Full-time study at public universities is often free for the first programme at each level, but self-funded and second programmes may have fees. Scholarships exist, including the World Bank / government scholarship of about €9,600.</p>
|
||||
<p>Under the Slovenia–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).</p>

<p>With student status you get subsidised meals (boni), discounted public transport, and many cultural and sport discounts. The meal subsidy lowers the price of a meal at partnered restaurants.</p>

<summary>Do I need a visa to enter Slovenia, or is the residence permit enough?</summary>
|
||||
<div class="faq-a">
|
||||
<p>Yes, student work through a napotnica (referral) is allowed on a student residence permit. A full-time employment contract is different and usually requires changing your permit from study to work.</p>

<div class="faq-a">
|

<p>Options include student dormitories, private rooms and flats. Self-funded foreign students usually cannot get a subsidised dorm place, so most rent privately or use student housing brokers.</p>
|

<p>You usually apply at the Slovenian embassy in Skopje before you arrive, or at the local administrative unit (upravna enota) once you are in Slovenia.</p>
