Indicator history

The 1999 Resolucija o imigracijski politiki Republike Slovenije [Resolution on the immigration policy of the Republic of Slovenia] refers to immigrants (to which its integration policy applies) as aliens with temporary residence permit in the duration of minimally one year.

Strategija vključevanja otrok, učencev in dijakov migrantov v sistem vzgoje in izobraževanja v Republiki Sloveniji [Strategy for inclusion of children and students with migrant background in the educational system in Slovenia] from 2007 contains a wider definition of migrants and includes children that already have Slovenian citizenship and cannot be considered migrants, but for different reasons are not fully integrated into Slovenian society yet.

Article 106 of the 2011 Zakon o tujcih [Aliens Act] defines the groups of aliens, entitled to free-of-charge participation in programs for learning Slovenian language and acquainting with Slovenian history, culture and constitutional arrangement:

- aliens – non-EU citizens residing in Slovenia based on permanent residence permit  and their family members with temporary residence permit based on family reunification, regardless of the duration of their stay in Slovenia;

- aliens – non-EU citizens residing in Slovenia based on temporary residence permit issued with the validity of minimum one year;

-aliens – non-EU citizens that are family members of Slovenian citizens or EU citizens residing in Slovenia based on the residence permit for family members, regardless of the duration of their stay in Slovenia.
