Citizens of the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland who have the intention of residing here for a time period of more than 90 days can do so without being issued a residence permit in Slovakia. If these citizens wish to stay in the country for more than 90 days, they can apply for a card which confirms their permanent residence permit in Slovakia. Foreign investors interested in opening a company in Slovakia may also apply for a residence permit. A residence permit in Slovakia is necessary for a foreign national (who originates from a country outside the EU, EEA or other than Switzerland) who intends to reside in the country for more than three months. In order to receive the residence permit in Slovakia, the foreign citizen has to apply personally at the Slovak Embassy in his or her country, before coming to Slovakia.
There are three types of residence permits in Slovakia:
- • Temporary residence permit;
- • Permanent residence permit;
- • Tolerated stay.
If you want to move to Slovakia and want to apply for a temporary residence permit in 2022, our specialists can guide you.
