AThe verdict

No customs to clear, just register and get your davcna stevilka.

A move from Denmark to Slovenia is one of the simpler corridors on the index. Both countries are in the European Union single market, so a truck loads in Denmark and drives through Germany and Austria straight to your door in Slovenia, about thirteen hundred kilometres, with no border clearance on the way. A dedicated load is often three to six days door to door, and a shared load a little longer.

Because this is an intra European move there is no import, no duty and no value added tax on your used belongings. The work is administrative on arrival rather than at any border. You register your residence at the local upravna enota, the administrative unit, and obtain a davcna stevilka, the Slovenian tax number you will need for a lease, utilities and a bank account.

Prices below are in Danish kroner and indicative for 2026. Your real number turns on volume, whether you share the truck or take a dedicated one, the season, and access at both ends. Note that Slovenia uses the euro while Denmark uses the krone.

Load and depart

Arrival

Register and settle

Register at the local upravna enota, obtain your davcna stevilka, and your mover delivers and carries in.

DCustoms and import

Why there is no customs to clear into Slovenia.

Both Denmark and Slovenia are in the European Union single market and customs union, so this is not an import. Your household goods travel in free circulation, with no customs entry, no duty and no value added tax on used personal belongings moving with you. There is no clearance file to lodge, which keeps a road move into Slovenia simple and quick.

Slovenia's tax and customs side is overseen by FURS, the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, but for an ordinary household move within the union there is nothing to declare. Keep an inventory for your mover and insurer, and carry proof the goods are yours, which is all most moves into Slovenia require.

The practical work is administrative rather than at the border. After arrival you register your residence at the local upravna enota, the administrative unit, and obtain a davcna stevilka, the Slovenian tax number, which you will need for a lease, utilities and a bank account. Controlled items such as firearms still have rules, so check anything unusual.

Verify before you moveRules within the single market are stable but can change. Treat this as a planning guide, not tax or customs advice, and confirm anything unusual with your mover before you ship.
EVisa and residency

The routes in for this corridor.

A Danish citizen has full freedom of movement to live in Slovenia, so there is no visa to apply for. You register your residence at the local upravna enota and obtain a davcna stevilka, the tax number, which together cover the practical immigration step. These are the routes for this corridor.

Freedom of movementEU citizen

As a Danish and EU national you may live in Slovenia without a visa, registering your residence after you arrive.

EmploymentWork in Slovenia

Take up work or self employment freely and register on that basis, the common route for working age movers.

Family memberFamily route

Bring or join family, including non EU relatives, who derive residence rights from your EU status.

Permanent residenceAfter five years

Settle permanently after five years of continuous residence, confirming your status for the long term.

Verify before you moveFreedom of movement rules and the registration steps can change. This is a summary, not immigration advice. Confirm the current rules with the Slovenian authorities for your situation before you commit.
Choosing a mover

How to pick a mover for this route, without the guesswork.

We do not rank or recommend individual companies. We teach you the criteria that separate a safe international move from an expensive mistake, then put your request in front of vetted movers who run this lane.

Check the trade affiliation. Membership of FIDI or IAM is the clearest signal a mover is financially screened and bound to industry standards for international household goods. For this route, ask whether the mover runs the Denmark to Slovenia road lane and handles delivery and carry in, with no customs to clear within the union.

Insist on a binding pre move survey. A real video or in home survey of your volume is the only honest basis for a firm price. A quote given without one is a guess that tends to grow on moving day.

Compare like for like. Read what each quote includes: packing, materials, the road transport, any ferry leg, clearance where it applies, delivery and carry in at the Slovenia end, and insurance. The cheapest headline number is rarely the cheapest move.

Understand the insurance terms. Ask whether cover is full replacement value or depreciated, what the excess is, and how claims are handled across a long overland route. Read the valuation clause before you sign.

Read recent reviews for this corridor. A mover can be strong at home and weak on a long European haul. Look for verified reviews that mention the Denmark to Slovenia route and a clean delivery.

?Common questions

Questions people ask about this move.

How much does it cost to move from Denmark to Slovenia?

For a two to three bedroom household by road, plan on roughly 24,000 to 72,000 Danish kroner door to door in 2026, depending on volume and whether you share the truck or take a dedicated load. A studio is less and a four bedroom home more. These are indicative ranges, not a quote.

How long does shipping take from Denmark to Slovenia?

A dedicated truck is often three to six days door to door across about thirteen hundred kilometres through Germany and Austria. A shared load waits for other consignments and can run a little longer.

Do I pay duty on my household goods moving to Slovenia?

No. Both Denmark and Slovenia are in the EU single market, so your used belongings travel in free circulation with no import, no duty and no value added tax. Keep an inventory for your mover and insurer all the same.

Do I need a visa to move from Denmark to Slovenia?

No. As a Danish and EU citizen you have freedom of movement, so you simply register your residence at the local upravna enota and obtain a davcna stevilka. Confirm the current steps with the Slovenian authorities.

What is a davcna stevilka and do I need one?

It is the Slovenian tax number, and you will need it for a lease, utilities and a bank account, so arrange it soon after you arrive along with your residence registration.

What currency does Slovenia use?

Slovenia uses the euro. Your shipping costs from Denmark, however, are billed in Danish kroner, and you settle local services in Slovenia in euros after you arrive.
