Sufficient means
The residence authority requires evidence that the applicant has adequate resources. Possible evidence can include:
- Scholarship decision
- Bank funds
- Regular income
- Support from a parent who has a legal maintenance obligation
- Grants
- Other recognised income or assets
The required amount is tied to the current Slovenian basic minimum income. Sources checked for this revision showed figures between approximately €485 and €510 per month. Always display the current official amount rather than a fixed number, and ask the responsible upravna enota how it calculates the period and which evidence it accepts.
Parent support
Prepare:
- Parent statement
- Proof of relationship
- Parent income or bank evidence
- Translation where requested
- Evidence that clearly identifies the student and support period
Proof of accommodation
Possible evidence:
- Dormitory confirmation
- Rental contract
- Landlord statement
- Ownership evidence where relevant
- Scholarship accommodation confirmation
- Other document accepted by the authority
A false or merely borrowed address can create residence, tax, delivery, and legal problems.
Registering the temporary address
A temporary address normally must be registered within eight days where the legal conditions are met. Depending on the accommodation:
- A dormitory may register the student.
- A landlord or accommodation provider may perform the reporting.
- The student may need to act personally.
Confirm who is responsible and obtain proof.
Changing address
When moving:
- End the old contract properly.
- Register the new address.
- Inform the administrative unit where required.
- Update university, bank, tax, insurance, and delivery details.
- Keep proof of the old and new dates.
Parent support is a practical student route
Official study-permit guidance recognises a parent’s support statement where the parent has a legal maintenance obligation. Prepare a statement that is:
- Notarised
- Translated as required
- Clear about the student, support period, and commitment
- Supported by proof of relationship and financial evidence when requested
The upravna enota decides whether the evidence is sufficient in the individual case.
Current fee reference
Research sources for this revision listed approximately:
- €4.50 application fee
- €50 permit fee
- €15.47 card-production cost
These amounts can change and do not include translation, certification, photograph, postage, or travel costs. Verify the current tariff before the appointment.
Register the address after receiving the permit
Ask the accommodation provider:
- Who performs the registration
- Which contract or ownership evidence is used
- When proof will be issued
- What happens when you move
A landlord’s refusal to allow lawful address registration is a serious warning sign.
