Permanent residence

Permanent residence

Permanent residence entitles a foreigner to stay in the Slovak Republic for a long time and to travel abroad and back. It is a more stable type of residence that is granted to foreigners for a longer period than temporary residence. Foreigners with permanent residence have the same rights and obligations as Slovak citizens in most areas of life (e.g. employment, health care, social affairs, public life at the regional level). There are three types of permanent residence:

  • permanent residence for five years
  • permanent residence for an unlimited time
  • long-term stay

PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR FIVE YEARS - MARRIAGE WITH A STATE CITIZEN OF THE SR

Permanent residence for five years may be granted to the applicant if:

  • the spouse of a citizen of the Slovak Republic with permanent residence in the territory of the Slovak Republic;
  • dependent relatives in the direct line of a citizen of the Slovak Republic with permanent residence in the territory of the Slovak Republic;
  • an unmarried child under the age of 18 entrusted to the personal care of a national of a country outside the EU who is the spouse of a citizen of the Slovak Republic with permanent residence in the territory of the Slovak Republic;
  • an unmarried child under the age of 18 of a person with a permanent residence for 5 years or a child under the age of 18 entrusted to the personal care of a person with a permanent residence for 5 years;
  • an unaccompanied child over 18 years of age of a permanent resident who is unable to take care of himself due to a long-term adverse health condition;
  • it is in the interest of the Slovak Republic.
