Hi many thanks for all the information on here.


I have read all the immigration info but wondered if anyone could share there stories of retirement in Slovenia and maybe working part time after Brexit. Is it a tricky process?

As UK citizens we have retired to Slovenia. We did it with the help of a Slovenian Immigration Lawyer. We bought a house here and applied for a residence permit card on the grounds that we had an economic tie to Slovenia ie the house.


You apply at the Slovenian Embassy in you home country, for us London, and our applications were approved in just over 2 months. You would normally collect your permits from the same location that you made your application but it is possible to collect it directly from the Administrative Unit of the area that you plan to live. You have to specifically ask to collect the permit in Slovenia.


I hope that explaining how we did it is of help and it should be possible for you to do the same through the Slovenian Embassy in London.
