Family reunion in Slovakia

Temporary Residence for the Purpose of Family Reunion

If you have decided to live in Slovakia with your family, the Act on the Residence of Foreigners allows you to submit family reunion documents when submitting your first application for temporary residence permit. Your spouse, children under 18, or even your parents over 65 can get this type of permit. However, it is important that the main person (the guarantor) responsible for the residence permit is granted temporary residence permit for another purpose of business (e.g. sole proprietorship, company, etc.) or employment. In fact, it is possible to apply for family reunion at any time during your temporary stay.
