The Process:

Step-by-Step Process

1. We secure the job offer

You won’t search alone. We connect you to Slovak employers ready to sponsor your permit with legal contracts.

2. Labour market test handled by employer

We guide the employer through the mandatory vacancy registration, at least 10 business days so your offer clears all checks.

3. We prepare and submit your single permit

Our legal team files your combined residence and work permit through the Slovak Labour Office with a complete, compliant dossier.

4. Embassy application done right

Once approved, we help you prepare and present your visa file at the embassy without leaving anything to chance.

5. Arrival and local police registration

After you enter Slovakia, we book your Foreign Police appointment and handle your local registration within the 3-day deadline. Most permits are issued in 60 to 90 days and we stay with you until it’s in your hands.

Legal Framework & Authorities

  • Slovak Labour, Social Affairs & Family Office (UPSVAR) administers labor tests and work permits.
  • The Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs issues residence permits.
  • Foreign Police Department handles initial registration.
  • Embassies issue national visas based on single-permit approval.

Work and Residency Routes Through Slovakia’s National Quota Scheme

We open access through government-controlled labor quotas, locked to pre-approved employers. Each applicant enters under a real, compliant job offer vetted by Slovak authorities.

Direct Access to Ministry-Level Decision Makers

We hold long-standing relationships with senior contacts in Slovakia’s Migration Office and Labor Directorate. That means faster file movement, clearer feedback, and fewer embassy delays.

Zero-Rejection Policy Backed by Internal Risk Protocols

We filter every case before submission. Files that carry legal risk or fail compliance get corrected or replaced. This keeps our rejection rate at zero across Slovakia-bound entries.

On-Ground Staff in Bratislava, Doha, and Budapest

Immigration Control Tech Built In-House

Our legal software reviews every document, detects weak submissions, and cross-matches embassy schedules.

Founder-Led by Former Consular Strategists and Labour Market Experts

Our team includes former consular advisors and government labor consultants who understand how Slovakia’s foreign workforce system runs. You don’t deal with guesswork, you deal with people who wrote the rules.
