Permanent residence in Slovakia

Permanent residence in Slovakia brings a number of benefits to foreigners – from free movement within the Schengen area, through access to public healthcare, education and the social security system, to facilitated access to the labour market, including the ability to flexibly change employers without the need for additional administrative acts on the part of the state.

Obtaining permanent residence in the territory of the Slovak Republic is an important step for every foreigner who plans to live, work or connect their life with Slovakia on a long-term basis.

There are several types of permanent residence to choose from:

  • Permanent residence for five years
  • Permanent residence for an unlimited period of time

Each type has its own specificities, conditions and administrative procedures, which may vary depending on the country of origin and the individual situation of the applicant.
