Your Expat Community in Slovenia

Embark on Your Life as an Expat in Slovenia

Sitting on the border between Western Europe and the Balkans, Slovenia offers one of the continent's most rich and diverse landscapes with a culture to match. A former member state of Yugoslavia, Slovenia was the first to secede from the republic in the early 1990s, and enjoyed a relatively smooth transition to independence. With a well-developed infrastructure and a strategic location at one of the major crossroads of Europe, Slovenia today attracts many expats drawn to business opportunities in fields such as IT and software development, automobile manufacturing and pharmaceuticals. The economic crash took a heavy toll on Slovenia, but recent years have seen significant growth and recovery in the country. A diverse, welcoming and forward-thinking nation, Slovenia has much to recommend to expats looking for comfort and modernity in a location slightly off the beaten track.
