Slovenia's main route for employing non-EU nationals. A single document combines residence and work authorisation: it is issued by the local administrative unit, while the Employment Service of Slovenia (ZRSZ) grants the required consent. The first permit is issued for the duration of the employment contract but for no more than two years, with extensions of up to three years.
