Slovenia's EU Blue Card is a single permit for highly qualified employment, for non-EU nationals with a higher-education qualification and a job meeting the higher salary threshold; it is usually exempt from the labour-market test and offers EU mobility.
You need a higher education qualification (typically a degree from a programme of at least three years) or, for some unregulated professions, recognised higher professional qualifications, plus a job offer for highly qualified work lasting at least a year.
Changing employer during the early period of the card is restricted and generally requires notifying or obtaining approval from the authorities; later the rules become more flexible.
