Before you leave Slovenia
- Deregister your residence — Report your departure to your local administrative unit so your Slovenian residence is cancelled, and keep the confirmation for the authorities in your new country.
- Your Slovenian car — Deregister the vehicle for export before it leaves, then register it in your new country under that country's rules.
- Tax and health insurance — Tell the Financial Administration (FURS) and your health insurer (ZZZS) that you are moving abroad, especially if you have been employed in Slovenia.
- Housing and utilities — Give notice on your lease as your contract requires, and close electricity, internet and phone accounts with a final reading.
Exporting your belongings from Slovenia
To another EU country: if Slovenia and your destination are both in the EU, your belongings travel freely. There is no export declaration and no customs clearance.
To a country outside the EU: we file the export declaration in Slovenia on your behalf. What matters most is the import side: whether your belongings enter your new country free of duty depends on that country's rules. Each destination guide explains them.
Wherever you are going, prepare a detailed inventory of your belongings. It is required at destination for almost every move outside the EU, and it is the basis of your insurance.
Leaving the EU — for the UK, Switzerland, Norway or another continent — means an export declaration, which we file before departure. Sea containers usually leave from Koper, Slovenia's own port on the Adriatic.
How a move from Slovenia works
- Free quote. Give us your departure address, your new home in Slovenia and a rough volume. We send an online estimate right away and a written quote within a day.
- Survey and planning. A coordinator confirms your volume and the transport mode, and reviews the customs rules that apply to your move to Slovenia.
- Packing and collection. Our local team packs, inventories and loads your belongings at your home in Slovenia.
- Transport. Your belongings travel by the mode that fits your route to Slovenia: dedicated truck or shared load within Europe, sea container or air freight otherwise.
- Customs clearance (where required). We prepare the export declaration in Slovenia and the import file for your destination (Slovenian export declaration for non-EU destinations).
- Delivery and set-up. We deliver at your new address and, if you asked for it on the quote, unpack boxes and reassemble furniture.
A single point of contact handles your move from Slovenia from estimate to delivery.
