one photo measuring 3 x 3.5 cm showing the actual appearance.  

The applicant has to also provide to the foreign police the documents written below, not older than 90 days confirming: 

The foreign police will need confirmation that a foreigner (entrepreneur) or his company paid tax and duty liabilities, health insurance, social insurance, and contributions to pension saving in this business. The confirmation is required from all three health insurance companies. If the third-country national / his country is not liable or not liable to pay contributions to social security, he has to ask for a document confirming this fact. 

 A third-country national who applies for renewal of a temporary residence permit in Slovakia for family reunification is also required to make a statutory declaration in writing that the reasons for granting temporary residence continues to exist. If the renewal of the temporary residence for the purpose of family reunification requests the wife of a foreigner – the entrepreneur, this affirmation has to be signed by her. For a young child so does either the father and / or mother (wife of a foreigner).
