Immigration is where the group started in 2022 and remains its busiest practice. It answers the central question of any move: on what grounds a person lives in the country, and what it takes to obtain, extend or change those grounds.

What we cover

Residence permits for employment and business — choosing the grounds, documents, filing
Temporary protection (dočasné útočisko) and switching from it to a residence permit
Registering a trade licence (živnosť) or an s.r.o. for a business residence permit
Family reunification: residence permits for spouses and children
Permanent residence and citizenship — preparation and support
Recognition of diplomas and school certificates
Driving-licence exchange, vehicle re-registration
Renewals, change of grounds, replies to requests from the authorities

Education

Education is the group’s second practice. It is run by Smart Study, a team that has worked with Slovakia since 2019 and knows the admission rules of state universities and colleges from the inside: which programmes are open to international applicants, what the document requirements are, how entrance exams work.

What we cover

Choosing a state university or college to match the applicant’s goals, language and background
Admission after grade 9 and after grade 11: gymnasia, vocational secondary schools, colleges
Preparing the document package, translations and certifications
Guidance through the admission procedure and enrolment
Dormitory or housing, insurance, registration after arrival
Hand-over to the immigration team: visa, study residence permit, renewals

Consulting & support

The documents are done — and life begins: renting, banking, doctors, a school for the child, taxes for a sole trader, first contracts. The consulting practice exists so that a client of the group has a person to bring these questions to, instead of piecing answers together from chat groups.

What we cover

Advice on everyday and administrative matters after the move
Finding and checking housing, the lease, address registration
Explaining letters and requirements from Slovak authorities
Business matters: trade licence or s.r.o., taxes and contributions, first steps
Preparing for visits to a bank, an insurer, an employer
Family support: school, doctor, insurance for children
