Comparing European DNVs for families?
Family economics vary widely across the 13 European DNVs. Some include children automatically, some require separate permits, some don't allow family at all. The comparison shows which DNVs are genuinely family-fit.
It depends on the country. Slovenia's framework is shown in the verdict callout at the top of this page. Some DNVs include full family (spouse + children + parents), some include only spouses, and a few — like Hungary's White Card — exclude family entirely.
How much extra income do I need for family members?
An additional €/month for the first dependent and €/month for each additional dependent on top of the principal applicant's required base of €/month.
What's the age limit for dependent children?
Children under are typically included automatically. Adult children in higher education may be includable in some discretionary cases with documentation.
Can my unmarried partner come too?
It depends on partner recognition. Slovenia's position is shown in the partner-recognition callout above — some countries accept documented cohabitation, some require formal marriage or civil partnership.
What about same-sex partners?
Same-sex marriage and registered partnership recognition vary by country. The partner-recognition callout above shows the Slovenia-specific rule. Most EU members recognise same-sex partnerships at least for residence purposes, even where domestic marriage law lags.
Can my spouse work in Slovenia?
Typically not directly. Spouses under DNV-derived family permits usually cannot take Slovenian employment, parallel to the principal applicant's restriction. Some countries allow it after a delay or after conversion to a different permit. The overview above covers the specific rule.
