Residence permit through employment
★★★★★
My employer kept dragging out the paperwork; they contacted HR themselves and sorted it. We went to the police together — I would have been lost in there alone.

Questions about this service
How long does the decision take?
The standard limit is 90 days from filing a complete application. In practice Bratislava is often faster; the regions vary.
Can I file while already in Slovakia?
It depends on your current status. There are nuances with dočasné útočisko and visa-free stays — we will go through them during the consultation.
What if the police refuse?
We check the file before filing, so refusals are rare. If one happens, we analyse the reason and prepare a new application or an appeal.
