Asylum Seekers
As an asylum seeker, you get a work permit after 3 months from entering the asylum procedure. Basic knowledge of Slovene and/or English is required by most employers.
Persons with International Protection
Persons with international protection have access to the labour market. You do not need to get a separate work permit. You have access to the labour market equal to that of a Slovene citizen.
Employers can violate the rights of migrant workers. For information about your working rights and their violations, you can contact the organisation Delavska svetovalnica.

Finding a job is a self-initiative task. The help of public services is limited.
You can also find employment through private employment agencies. Private employment agencies will take a percentage of your paycheck but they can quickly find job opportunities for you.
