Slovenia Digital Nomad Visa for Peruvian Passport Holders (2026)

Peruvian passport holders do not need a visa to enter Slovenia for short stays — which is a significant advantage. You can enter Slovenia visa-free, apply for the digital nomad visa from within the country, and avoid the consulate process entirely if the program allows in-country conversion. Always confirm the current maximum stay allowed on entry before booking.

The Digital Nomad Visa assesses all applicants on the same criteria regardless of nationality. Peruvian citizens can apply provided they meet the following requirements:

• Income: $3,784.32/month — proven via 3–6 months bank statements
• Remote work proof: Employment contract, freelance agreements, or client letters confirming you work for non-Slovenia entities
• Health insurance: health insurance required
• Clean background: Police clearance from Peru (apostilled if required by Slovenia)
• Valid passport: Peru passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay
• Accommodation proof: Rental agreement, hotel booking, or property documents in Slovenia

Important: Documents not in Slovenia's official language or English must be certified translated. Peruvian applicants should confirm apostille requirements for documents issued in Peru.

1. Gather documentation. Collect 3–6 months of bank statements showing consistent income above the threshold, employment contracts or freelance agreements, valid Peru passport (6+ months validity), international health insurance certificate, and a police clearance certificate.
2. Authenticate documents. Check whether Slovenia requires apostille stamps on Peru-issued documents. Arrange certified translations for any documents not in the local language or English. This step can take 2–6 weeks — start early.
3. Check entry requirements. Verify whether Peruvian citizens can enter Slovenia visa-free or need a short-stay visa before applying for the digital nomad visa. Check the Slovenia embassy website for current entry requirements for Peru passport holders.
4. Submit your application. Apply through the official Slovenia government portal. Some programs accept online applications; others require in-person submission at a consulate.
5. Await approval and enter. Once approved, book travel and confirm your health insurance is active from day one. Register with local immigration if required within the first 30 days of arrival in Slovenia.

Tax obligations for Peruvian citizens on the Digital Nomad Visa depend on your residency status and duration of stay. Most digital nomad visa holders are not considered tax residents in Slovenia if their income originates abroad — but this is not guaranteed.

Extended stays (typically 183+ days in a calendar year) may trigger local tax residency. As a Peru citizen, you must also consider your home country's worldwide income reporting requirements and any bilateral tax treaty between Peru and Slovenia.

Always consult a tax professional who understands both Peru and Slovenia tax law before committing to an extended stay.

Weak or inconsistent income documentation

Depositing a lump sum right before applying won't work. Slovenia immigration officials want to see consistent income above the threshold over 3–6 months. Sporadic freelance payments or transfers from family members don't qualify. Start maintaining clean financial records as early as possible.

Missing apostille or translation requirements

Peruvian applicants often underestimate authentication requirements. Peru-issued documents — including bank letters, employment contracts, and police certificates — may need apostille stamps and certified translations. This process can take weeks. Budget for it early.

Not confirming entry eligibility before booking travel

Peruvian passport holders may need a short-stay visa to enter Slovenia before their digital nomad visa is approved. Confirm entry requirements with the Slovenia embassy before booking any flights. Entry eligibility and DNV eligibility are separate questions.
