Slovenia residence permit photo guide

Photo requirements

The photo size, format, and background conditions for the application.

• The Slovenian residence permit application form (temporary residence, family reunification, 47. člen ZTuj) contains a photo box "prostor za fotografijo ali referenčna številka iz elektronskega odložišča fotografij" (photo box or reference number from the electronic photo repository), and the attachment list leads with the same item. The permanent residence permit page lists the same document. The printed photo is prepared for pasting into the paper form photo box (print channel).
• Submitting a photograph is one of two alternatives: applicants who can quote a reference number from the electronic photo repository (e.g. prior residence-permit holders) do not need to attach a photo.
• The authority publishes no photo dimensions in millimetres, no background colour, and no recency period: the form text states none, and the "30×35 mm" value seen elsewhere does not appear in the official sources. The 3.5×4.5 cm value on e-uprava belongs to the passport (potni list) FAQ and does not apply to the residence permit photo. The Schengen C route (Embassy of Slovenia in Japan, ICAO reference) is a separate procedure.
