This Affordable European Country Is Launching A Digital Nomad Visa: Here's What You Need To Know
A digital nomad gazes out over Lake Bled at sunrise—one of Slovenia's most iconic destinations. With a new digital nomad visa launching this November, remote workers can now live and work in this storybook setting for up to a year. getty Dreaming of living in Europe while working remotely? Slovenia—one of Europe's most underrated and affordable destinations—is about to make that dream a reality at a time when digital nomadism is gaining serious global traction. Starting this November, Slovenia is expected to launch its first-ever digital nomad visa, giving remote workers a new way to live and work in the heart of Europe. The new program will allow remote workers to live in Slovenia for up to 12 months while working for foreign employers or clients. The move will put Slovenia on the fast-growing list of forward-thinking countries creating digital nomad visas designed to attract remote workers who can live in and contribute to their local economies. More than 60 countries now offer some version of a digital nomad visa. For Americans craving a European lifestyle—but without the bureaucracy of long-term residency or citizenship—this visa offers an exciting new option, according to Cepee Tabibian, founder of She Hit Refresh and author of the book, I'm Outta Here! An American's Ultimate Visa Guide to Living in Europe . 'This is great news,' Tabibian told me in an interview. 'Central Europe doesn't really offer digital nomad visas—Hungary is currently the only one—so Slovenia launching this is a big deal.' Slovenia's New Digital Nomad Visa: The Basics According to a global immigration alert from EY (a division of Ernst & Young), the visa is expected to go into effect on November 21, 2025. Remote workers will be eligible to apply for a non-renewable, one-year residence permit, provided they work for companies based outside Slovenia. Freelancers, self-employed professionals and consultants offering services to clients abroad also qualify for the program. Slovenia is launching a new digital nomad visa—and seaside towns like Piran are poised to become Europe's next remote work havens. getty This flexibility makes the program especially appealing to entrepreneurs, solopreneurs and digital creatives whose work transcends borders. Applicants will need a valid passport, health insurance and proof of sufficient funds—reportedly at least twice the country's average monthly net salary. According to other sources, family members can join digital nomad visa holders, but they too must have income from employers outside Slovenia. While the visa is not renewable, remote workers can reapply after spending six months outside Slovenia. Unlike programs in Spain, Portugal or Greece, Slovenia's digital nomad visa is non-renewable and doesn't lead to long-term residency or citizenship. But it offers a lower cost of living and fewer crowds—plus easy access to those other destinations. Hungary is currently the only other Central European country offering a similar permit. Beyond the paperwork and policy details, what truly makes this visa exciting is the country itself—and what it offers digital nomads. Why Slovenia Could Be The Next Digital Nomad Hotspot Slovenia—a small Alpine country set between Italy and Austria—may not be as well-known as its famous neighbors. And that's part of the appeal. 'We've recommended Slovenia for retirees for years and are excited about the prospect for nomads,' Jen Barnett, founder of Expatsi—which helps Americans find places to live abroad—told me in an interview. Slovenia's capital city, Ljubljana, is a charming hub for remote workers—with its walkable Old Town, thriving café culture and easy access to nature. getty For remote workers, the draw is clear. Cities like Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje, Kranj and Koper are building infrastructure to support remote workers, with coworking hubs, fast Wi-Fi and a welcoming community of expats and digital nomads. It's one of the cleanest, safest, most scenic and most environmentally conscious countries in Europe, with natural beauty and a slower pace of life. 'Slovenia is ranked in the top 10% of countries in the world for safety and natural beauty according to the Legatum Prosperity Index, and nearly as highly for healthcare,' says Barnett. You'll find everything from Alpine peaks and medieval towns to pristine lakes and even a stretch of Adriatic coastline. 'While many Americans are moving to the Mediterranean for the sun and coast, Slovenia offers a unique opportunity to live in an alpine region and enjoy mountains, lakes, and access to the many countries that surround it: Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia,' says Tabibian. 'We could easily see Slovenia becoming the next Portugal, and it's especially perfect for families from the Pacific Northwest who'd like to maintain their active lifestyles,' says Barnett. The weather is great—'The country itself is green and stunning, and high temps never exceed 86 degrees,' says Tabibian. It's also budget-friendly, especially compared to the U.S. and most of Western Europe. 'The cost of living is about half of what you spend in the United States, and there are seven international schools in the capital for families with kids,' says Barnett. 'It's more affordable than most of Western Europe, in some places up to 50% less,' says Tabibian. Its capital of Ljubljana is less expensive than other European capitals—but go beyond and you'll save even more. According to International Living, cities like Maribor, Škofja Loka and Koper, you can rent a one-bedroom for as low as $375 to $600 a month. Restaurants are also affordable, and groceries are fresh and reasonably priced—much lower than what you'd pay in neighboring countries. Public transportation is another big plus. Slovenia's efficient, low-cost public transportation network makes it easy to explore the country—and the region—with minimal hassle and without owning a car. And when you're ready for a weekend getaway, Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia are all just a few hours away. Things To Keep In Mind As idyllic as it sounds, this visa isn't for everyone. Unlike countries that offer a path to permanent residency through investment or long-term stays, Slovenia is not (yet) courting expats looking to settle down permanently. 'It's just for 12 months and non-renewable,' says Tabibian. Strolling through Ljubljana's Old Town, where sidewalk cafés, boutiques and cobblestone streets create the perfect setting for a digital nomad lifestyle. getty And Slovenia's tax laws can be complex, particularly for freelancers or business owners considering a deeper financial footprint in the country. Still, for those who are craving a change of scenery—and want to test out European life without a long-term commitment—Slovenia may be just the place. 'It's still a fantastic way to live in Europe for a year and scout other countries for a longer-term move,' says Tabibian. So whether you're chasing mountain views, slower living or simply a smart, affordable base in Europe, Slovenia's digital nomad visa is a compelling new option. While official details are still rolling out, one thing is clear: Slovenia is ready to welcome a new wave of remote workers—passport in one hand, laptop in the other and a whole new lifestyle ahead.

Starmer's Welfare Overhaul Hangs in Balance Ahead of Key Vote
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is girding for what could be the most consequential vote of his premiership, with Labour rebels warning that the government's welfare overhaul still risks defeat despite huge concessions to push it through parliament. Starmer spent Monday trying to persuade skeptics in his left-leaning party to back a revised package of reforms to disability benefits that he says are necessary to slow the pace of Britain's ballooning welfare costs and get people back to work. Some of the party's Members of Parliament said they weren't satisfied by sweeping last-minute changes offered by the prime minister last week at an estimated cost of £3 billion ($4.1 billion) to the Treasury.

The dividend investing landscape continues to evolve as we move through 2025, presenting both opportunities and challenges for income-focused investors.

The current market environment has created compelling entry points across multiple industries, from energy infrastructure to consumer staples. This article examines five carefully selected dividend-paying stocks that offer attractive yields, strong fundamentals and the potential for long-term capital appreciation. Each selection has been evaluated based on dividend safety (according to the ratings of business model sustainability, and current valuation metrics to provide readers with actionable investment opportunities for the remainder of 2025. How These Dividend Stock Picks Were Chosen The selection process for these dividend stocks involved a comprehensive analysis of multiple factors, beyond just yield percentage. Primary consideration was given to dividend safety scores (as scored by which evaluate a company's ability to maintain and potentially grow its dividend payments over time. Companies with scores above 3.0 were prioritized, indicating a reasonable level of confidence in the sustainability of their dividends. Market capitalization, current valuation relative to analyst price targets and year-to-date performance were also critical factors in the evaluation process. Special attention was paid to companies trading below their recommended price targets, suggesting potential upside beyond the dividend yield. The final selections represent a diversified mix of sectors, including energy infrastructure, real estate, consumer goods, utilities and pharmaceuticals, providing investors with exposure to different economic drivers while maintaining focus on income generation. 5 Top Dividend Stocks To Buy Now In July 2025 1. Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (EPD) Enterprise Products Partners stands as one of North America's largest midstream energy companies, operating an extensive network of pipelines, storage facilities and processing plants across the United States. The master limited partnership structure provides tax advantages while focusing on the critical infrastructure that connects energy producers with end markets. Currently trading at $31.09 per share with a market capitalization of $67.50 billion, EPD represents a substantial player in the energy infrastructure space. The company's business model centers on fee-based contracts rather than commodity price exposure, providing more predictable cash flows compared to upstream energy companies. With a dividend safety score of 4.2, EPD demonstrates strong fundamentals supporting its generous 6.88% yield. The partnership has maintained its distribution for over 25 years, showcasing remarkable consistency even through challenging energy market cycles. Enterprise Products Partners offers compelling value at current levels, trading significantly above the analyst price recommendation of $25.77, yet still providing exceptional income potential. The 6.88% yield represents one of the highest sustainable yields available from a large-cap energy infrastructure company, supported by diversified cash flows from natural gas, crude oil and petrochemical transportation services. The company's strategic positioning benefits from North America's continued growth in energy production and the ongoing need for midstream infrastructure. Recent expansion projects and strategic acquisitions have strengthened EPD's competitive moat while providing additional growth catalysts. Despite modest year-to-date returns of 1.44%, the combination of high current income and potential for distribution growth makes EPD attractive for income-focused investors seeking energy sector exposure. 2. Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. (MAA) Mid-America Apartment Communities operates as a real estate investment trust, specializing in multifamily residential properties across the Sun Belt region of the United States. With a market capitalization of $17.46 billion and a current share price of $147.46, MAA represents a significant player in the apartment rental market. The company's portfolio comprises high-quality apartment communities in growing metropolitan areas, which benefit from favorable demographic trends and regional economic expansion. The REIT structure requires MAA to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders, supporting its current 4.11% dividend yield with a forward dividend of $6.06 per share. While the dividend safety score of 3.4 indicates moderate risk, the company's focus on Sunbelt markets, characterized by strong job growth and population migration, provides fundamental support for rental demand and pricing power. Mid-America Apartment Communities presents an attractive opportunity in the residential real estate sector, particularly given the ongoing housing shortage and demographic trends favoring rental properties. The company's geographic focus on high-growth Sunbelt markets positions it to benefit from continued population migration from higher-cost regions, supporting both occupancy rates and rental growth potential. Trading above the analyst price recommendation of $136.93, MAA's current valuation reflects market recognition of its quality portfolio and strategic positioning. Despite a modest year-to-date decline of 1.56%, the company's consistent dividend payments and exposure to essential housing needs provide defensive characteristics. The combination of steady income and potential for capital appreciation as interest rates stabilize makes MAA suitable for investors seeking real estate exposure with reliable dividend income. 3. PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP) PepsiCo is among the world's largest food and beverage companies, operating iconic brands such as Pepsi, Frito-Lay, Tropicana and Quaker Oats. With a massive market capitalization of $179.68 billion and a current trading price of $128.22, PEP represents a blue-chip investment in the consumer staples sector with a global reach. The company's diversified portfolio spans beverages, snacks and food products, providing multiple revenue streams and geographic diversification. The dividend safety score of 3.7 reflects PEP's strong balance sheet and consistent cash generation capabilities, which support its current yield of 4.44% with a forward dividend of $5.69 per share. As a Dividend Aristocrat with over 50 years of consecutive dividend increases, PepsiCo demonstrates an exceptional commitment to returning capital to shareholders while investing in business growth and innovation. PepsiCo presents exceptional value at current levels, trading significantly below the analyst price recommendation of $181.54, suggesting substantial upside potential beyond the attractive dividend yield. The year-to-date decline of around 11% has created an opportunity to acquire shares of this high-quality consumer staples company at a discount to fair value estimates. The company's defensive business model provides stability during economic uncertainty, as consumers continue purchasing food and beverages regardless of economic conditions. Recent strategic initiatives focusing on healthier product offerings and sustainability align with evolving consumer preferences while supporting long-term growth prospects. The combination of a discounted valuation, reliable dividend growth history and defensive characteristics makes PEP particularly attractive for conservative dividend investors seeking quality at reasonable prices. 4. UGI Corp (UGI) UGI Corporation operates as a diversified energy company providing natural gas and electric utility services, propane distribution and energy marketing across the United States and internationally. With a market capitalization of $7.82 billion and a current share price of $36.05, UGI represents a mid-cap utility investment with both regulated and unregulated business segments. The company's operations span utility services in Pennsylvania, propane distribution through AmeriGas and international energy operations. The impressive dividend safety score of 4.4 reflects UGI's stable cash flows from regulated utility operations and established propane distribution network. Currently yielding 4.16% with a forward dividend of $1.50 per share, UGI offers an attractive income stream while maintaining financial flexibility for growth investments and infrastructure improvements. UGI Corporation has delivered exceptional performance with year-to-date returns of 32.09%, yet still offers compelling value for dividend-focused investors. The company's diversified business model provides multiple growth drivers, including regulated utility rate increases, expansion opportunities in propane distribution, and renewable energy initiatives. Trading above the analyst price recommendation of $28.28, UGI's recent performance reflects market recognition of its strategic positioning and execution capabilities. The utility sector's defensive characteristics, combined with UGI's growth initiatives in renewable energy and infrastructure modernization, provide both stability and upside potential. The strong dividend safety score and consistent payment history make UGI suitable for investors seeking utility sector exposure with above-average growth prospects. 5. AbbVie Inc. (ABBV) AbbVie operates as a global biopharmaceutical company, focusing on the development and commercialization of advanced therapies across immunology, oncology, neuroscience and other therapeutic areas. With a substantial market capitalization of $327.76 billion and current trading price of $186.79, ABBV represents one of the largest pharmaceutical companies globally. The company's portfolio includes blockbuster drugs such as Humira, Skyrizi and Rinvoq, generating substantial cash flows to support dividend payments and research and development investments. The dividend safety score of 4.3 reflects AbbVie's strong financial position and diversified revenue base, supporting its current yield of 3.51% with a forward dividend of $6.56 per share. Despite facing patent expirations on key products, the company's robust pipeline and strategic acquisitions provide confidence in long-term cash flow generation and dividend sustainability. AbbVie presents an attractive value proposition, trading near the analyst price recommendation of $189.65, with a solid year-to-date performance of 6.39%, demonstrating market confidence in the company's strategic direction. The pharmaceutical giant's focus on high-growth therapeutic areas and strong pipeline development provides multiple catalysts for future growth beyond current dividend income. The company's successful navigation of Humira's patent cliff, achieved through new product launches and strategic positioning, demonstrates management's ability to adapt to industry challenges. Recent acquisitions and pipeline developments in oncology and immunology support long-term growth prospects while maintaining the financial strength necessary for consistent dividend payments. The combination of current income, growth potential and defensive characteristics of the healthcare sector makes ABBV suitable for investors seeking pharmaceutical exposure with reliable dividend income. Bottom Line These five dividend stocks represent compelling opportunities across diverse sectors, each offering unique advantages for income-focused investors in July 2025. Enterprise Products Partners provides exceptional yield from energy infrastructure, while Mid-America Apartment Communities offers real estate exposure with Sunbelt growth potential. PepsiCo presents blue-chip quality at discounted valuations, UGI combines utility stability with growth initiatives, and AbbVie delivers pharmaceutical innovation with strong dividend coverage. The combination of attractive yields, reasonable valuations, and strong dividend safety scores makes this diversified selection an ideal choice for building a robust income-generating portfolio in the current market environment.
