What is important for proving marriage, partnership, parentage, custody, dependency or another qualifying relationship?

Answer not available

What important financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance responsibilities apply?

Answer not available

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

Visa-free family members may stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period (visa holders until the visa expires) and must apply for the permit before that period ends; the application can only be filed at an administrative unit in Slovenia (not at a mission abroad), and a certificate valid as a temporary permit is issued until the final decision. The permit is issued for five years and can be extended. The official source does not state the family member's work rights or a path to independent status.
