Cross-border/temporary provisions of activity

The provider that is established and meets the conditions for the performance of craft activities in the EU Member States, EEA or the Swiss Confederation, may occasionally carry out commercial activity without establishment in the Republic of Slovenia.

For craft activities, which may present a serious risk to public health or safety, the provider must apply for an authorization to periodically perform a craft activity at the Craft and Small Business of Slovenia.

The Chamber of Craft and Small Business of Slovenia enters providers in the craft register for a period of one year from the date of the submission of the application. Before the expiry of one year, the provider must extend the temporary craft permit.
