Hi! I must confess. You nailed it pretty good with Slovenia. After 14 years living in The Netherlands, I decided to go back to my native Slovenia and bought a house - we're getting the keys end of this month (January). Indeed real estates are much cheaper than most EU countries. Also the reason why I came - I get a decent sized house (or bigger), more then enough land, tons of stunning nature for a little amount. In NL this combination would cost us probably around 1 mil EUR at today's prices. Here we paid less than 10% of that. 7% to be precise. Since I spend nearly a year searching the enitre country and got to know the market decently good; there is indeed lots of properties still bellow 100K with lots of land. However for this price range you're tapping into housing 50+ years old. Renovation is always needed. So expect to spend another 20-50K into renovation depending on your wish list. If you view more modern houses, say what was build in the last 20 years, prices are pretty much insane as elsewhere in the EU - 250K+. Bigger cities even more. Countryside nevertheless is very afforadble with older housing. We found ours 50 years old, concrete and brick, excellent shape with 3ha of land (grasslands and a forest) and a stunning 5 star view from the top of the hill overlooking at the nature and small villages. Its also located in a regional park with large biodiversity so everything is also protected. My wife is from Vietnam so as far as getting the residency done for her, it took 3 months. If we would actually do some research online and submitted all the documents straight away plus arrange everything she needs from Vietnam, we would be done within a month and a half. So that would be some basic share of info from Slovenia if anyone is interested from some first hand source. Hope it helps someone making up their mind :) The country is without a doubt green and beautiful. Thanks for the upload!

Thanks, very helpful info for us.

Thanks for this wonderful video n thanks for sharing d information on a very attractive option of a residency in Slovenia.

Thank you for the information.

This is exactly what I needed. Once I free up some capital, ima take you up on this

This sounds great

Great info thanks!

Slovenia is very interesting. It certainly is at the top of the list.

Slovenia was nice. Really laid back.

Great Information, who do you recommend I contact to start this residency option?

Maybe cheap the eastern part but not Ljubljana and Sea side ....there the apartments are starting from 4000 EUR m2 up ...I Italy Trieste for istance the apartments are much much cheaper as in Slovenian sea side.... generally Slovenia is quite expensive with real estates....

@Offshore Citizen I think you've hit a rich vein as this subject is now coming up in normal everyday conversations with friends and family in the UK. Never a shortage of content plus the laws, rules and procedures must change on a regular basis.

Thanks a lot for a gem of knowledge shared via this. Please suggest if the same rule is applicable for Non- EU applicants. Cheers.

Thank you Michael for another interesting option.

Very informative video as always. I looked. At Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro in 2004. I really liked Slovenia because of its connections to EU but despite its beauty, found it a little uninspiring. I chose Montenegro and I haven’t regretted that decision at all.

Mr. Rosmer, goin through this route, is it mandatory to hire yourself as an employee & pay salary to you ? Also, what about the taxes in Slovenia, i heard the personal income tax is really high there...

Love your channel. Can you please also talk about healthcare costs and quality in EU and some other countries? It is a big draw for Americans who are retired well before turning 65, are financially independent and comfortable, but don’t want to pay $2000 per month in private health insurance in US.

So can you do this visa but actually base yourself in spain ( for example ) or at other schengen country rather be based in Slovenia ?

Is this information still current as of 2023?

Hi thanks for video , How to go about this

Ljubljana is a lovely little capital city and Lake Bled is very picturesque.

Thank you ...are there state run websites. for visa and investment..where all information is put up and we go through ..

Hi,ı read somewhere says, after 50K investment in one year time you must reach a nearly a million Eur investment to get a PR. Thanks

Do you gotta live 6 months a year to have land there?

Thanks for the info. I think you said the process takes 4-6 months- would one have to stay in Slovenia the whole time of that process?

How about taxes in Slovenia for freelancer? What could be tge rate! I like Slovenia, but tax system is not very attractive

Michael, I'm trying to book a call with you. Is there an option to pay with crypto (i.e. stablecoins), as I don't really use Paypal?

Trieste is right on the coast, correct?

What is exactly the total amount of other fees other than the 50k€

How far will English take you in Slovenia? Would you have access to public health insurance even if you have pre-existing conditions?

Where would the best place to retire on a teachers pension?

Where's the link to taxes there?

Nice country, but very poorly connected via air to the rest of the world compared to most EU capitals. Plus, the price of the commodities is higher compared to neighbouring Austria or Italy.

Can you help for Slovenia citizenship through law of repatriation

There’s a massive amount of brits buying slovenian real estate, i see more brits here than other foreigners

Please how can reach out to you directly?

This way is not just for Slovenia. And the thing is, what real estate can you buy with only 60k euros in Slovenia?

Clarity is lacking..such a lot of facts..diff to perceive..pl

Very vague and breezing by some of the most complicated parts..."so ya "

SLOVENIAN CENTRAL BANK, and their crypto asset regime are in sympathy with the crypto asset operators; but their tax residency regime has a harsh trap for the innocent and amateur entrepreneur, if the tax treaty residency tie breaker in another tax treaty jurisdiction does not remove the duty to pay their highest rates of tax and government insurance contributions!

Why can't you just become a resident by buying property for yourself

You are too fast speaking..bit slow..will be more audible and understandable..pl

Hi, Can you help getting Slovenia citizenship by law of repatriation?

No mention of the income, capital gains, dividend taxes paid by Americans who live there after purchasing a home with all the notary and fee costs. Investors also must know this was a Communist country and still has remnants in place. You also put the cart before the horse. Before you buy a house, you must know all the other taxes you will encounter including the highest VAT taxes of 25%. Slovenian is also a language few speak except Slovenians & some Balkan countries like Croatia who is their buddy. Years of effort to speak Slovenian is required. Not much opportunity for those coming there to retire.. English is not spoken that much, and Slovenian language is primary.

Too complicated ...vague...10 years to get passport? Lol

So while you need spend limited funds on your self. Yet to gain citizenship you must buy a house for someone else while you need a house for yourself. LoL
