Required Funds for the Slovenia Working Holiday Visa

Written by Volare | May 22, 2026

To access the youth mobility program in Central Europe, demonstrating economic solvency is a fundamental step. The consular authorities of the government of Slovenia are strict regarding the financial resources that each applicant must possess before entering the country with the Working Holiday Visa. Below, we detail the exact amounts and the correct way to present this documentation.

1. Minimum amount required

This rule applies equally to all eligible nationalities within the bilateral agreement: Argentina, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

It is mandatory to demonstrate that you have the necessary capital to support yourself financially during the initial period of your stay, prior to finding a local source of income. The applicant must prove possessing a minimum capital of 2,500 EUR (or its approximate equivalent of 2,840 USD in local currency) in a bank account in their name.

It is fundamental to consider that this money is intended purely for maintenance and does not cover the costs of international transportation. Therefore, in addition to the aforementioned funds, it is a transversal and indispensable requirement to demonstrate the possession of a round-trip ticket, or else, the additional amount to acquire it.

2. How to demonstrate economic funds?

For the consular section of the embassy to approve your economic solvency, the financial documents presented must be strictly official. Bank statements from a checking or savings account in the exclusive name of the applicant are required, covering an uninterrupted period of the last 3 months prior to the consular appointment.

This measure seeks to confirm that the money entered in a lawful and sustained manner, guaranteeing that the applicant will have sufficient resources for their first steps in Slovenia, whether to settle in, do tourism, or evaluate the academic offer available in the country.

The original stamp and signature of the bank

It is vital to highlight that homemade printouts from the online portal (home banking) are usually rejected by consular agents. Therefore, it is strictly necessary to go to the bank branch so that an executive signs and stamps each page of the presented movements. Alternatively, documents that have a certified and verifiable digital signature from the banking institution can be presented.
