Slovenia
Relocating to Slovenia.
After moving to Slovenia for work, the first weeks are a chain of registrations. In order: register the address, get the davčna številka, collect the residence card, register for health cover, open a bank account. Each step unlocks the next, so the order matters. Settio builds this plan for every person you move, with deadlines and a portal in their language.
