Temporary residence in Slovakia.

An EU national can enter the territory of Slovakia without any temporary permit. The Non-EU national has to have a temporary permit in case she/he wants to stay in Slovakia for longer time. The EU national is able to do business in Slovakia under the same conditions as the Slovak nationals. The Non-EU national has to apply for the temporary residence for the purpose of business, so it is essential to be granted a residence which allows you to conduct business.

The temporary permit submits a Foreign Police Department of the Slovak Republic in case the foreign national conduct business as a sole trader or managing director of a commercial company (etc. managing director of a limited liability company) in Slovakia. The Foreign Police Department can submit temporary permit only for 3 years. There is a possibility to prolong the temporary permit again.
