You were granted the status of a refugee
This means that your rights are almost equal to those of Slovenian citizens and
that you have been given a permanent residence permit. You may work, you may
enter formal education, you may move to whichever place you choose in Slovenia.
Subsidised accommodation, on the other hand, is not available to you. You will be
given a Refugee ID Card and if you apply, also a Refugee Travel Document, which
allows you to travel freely among EU member states. After five years of residence
and two officially acknowledged years of employment in Slovenia, you may apply
for Slovenian citizenship.
Other rights of persons with refugee status:
An integration house is meant to make the transitory period of integration
somewhat easier for refugees by taking the burden of finding adequate housing
off their shoulders for a while, thus allowing refugees to focus on other
issues. The integration house in Maribor is located on Makedonska 33 and
has room for accommodating up to 45 individuals.
b. Once you find private accommodations and form a tenancy agreement, the
Ministry of the Interior will grant you financial compensation for private accommodations
for the next two years of your integration period.
A single person with international protection status is entitled to receive
financial compensation for private accommodations in the amount of basic
minimum income, which equals € 260 per month (after taxes) in 2012.
a. Free accommodation in an integration house for a one-year period.
