Basic information on the procedure of employment of foreigners (from third-countries) in the Slovak Republic:

Please be aware that we are not a personal agency, we cannot find any job. First, a foreigner has to find a job! Then, he/she can contact us to arrange the residence permit.

The first step in the process of employment of foreigners in Slovakia has been associated with reports of the vacancy to the competent labour office, which has a period of 30 days for the employer to find a suitable candidate among Slovak citizens. If not, the employer may conclude with an employee (foreign national) employment contracts, resp. he issue a promise of employment. After 30 working days of reporting a vacancy, it is possible to submit an application for a residence permit. In this case, the residence permit is granted for a maximum of two years.

In case of the recruitment of highly qualified employees with higher educational attainment, granting the blue card at Alien Police is needed. Blue Card shall police department grant for a maximum period of three years. Monthly salary need to be at least 1.5 times of the average monthly salary in the economy of the Slovak Republic in the appropriate sector.

References from clients

I engaged AKMV Laf Firm for assistance with renewal of my temporary residency. As expected, the process was not entirely straightforward, and the expert knowledge and experience of AKMV was crucial to both a successful application and providing reassurance to me with what could have been a stressful time. As such, I arrived at the Foreign Police with all the correct documentation and the application was made quickly and without difficulty. Follow-up requirements from the Foreign Police were quickly and precisely addressed by AKMV. The successful application was advised once approved. I have not hesitated to recommend AKMV to other foreigners and will seek their assistance for my immigration needs in the future.
