To get permission for work, you need to wait for three (3) months, from the moment you entered the asylum procedure.
According to the new regulation (2023), asylum seekers with the right to access the labor market will have the opportunity to exercise their right on the Slovenian labour market after three months instead of nine months.
REFUGEES WITH STATUS:
Persons with international protection status - refugees - have access to the labor market.
You do not need to get a separate working permit. You have access to work as a Slovenian citizen.
The rights of migrants are regularly violated by the employer. For information about your working rights and their violation, you can contact the organization Delavska Svetovalnica.
