Get a job offer / promise of employment

You must have an employer in Slovakia willing to employ you. They may issue a written promise of employment or an employment contract.

Employer reports the vacancy

The employer must report the job vacancy to the local Labour Office (Úrad práce, Social Affairs and Family). They do this to check whether a local or EU job-seeker could fill the role first.

3.The report must be made a certain number of working days prior to applying for permit (usually 10 working days for standard work permit; 20 working days if the single permit route; different for seasonal work).

4.Apply for the permit

Depending on the permit type, you or your employer (sometimes) file the application. The application is submitted to:

  • The Labour Office for the work permit component.
  • The Foreign Police Department (if applying within Slovakia) or a Slovak embassy/consulate abroad (if you are not yet in Slovakia) for the residence permit or the single permit.

5.Documents required

Some common documents you will need:

  • Valid passport.
  • Employment contract or written promise of employment.
  • If the job is regulated / requires credentials: validated/recognised educational/professional qualifications + translations and sometimes apostille or super-legalisation.
  • Proof of accommodation in Slovakia (in certain cases, especially for seasonal work).
  • Health insurance. Any required translations of documents into Slovak.

6.Fees & processing time

  • The fee for a single permit / residence + work is about €165.50 if submitted in Slovakia (Foreign Police), or slightly more if submitted abroad.
  • Processing times vary; the work permit is typically issued within 20 working days after the complete application (in standard cases). For seasonal work it can be faster (sometimes 10 working days
  • Temporary residence based on employment or single permit might take longer (it depends on embassy / foreign police etc.).

7.After permit granted

  • You’ll receive your temporary residence card / document
  • You may need to register with the Foreign Police within 3 working days of arrival / once you have the permit
  • If you change employer, place of work or job title, you often need a new work permit or need to inform authorities

Duration & renewal

  • Work permits are usually issued for up to 2 years, and can be renewed. Under certain international treaties or reciprocity, may go up to 5 years.
  • Seasonal work permits have stricter maximums (e.g. cannot exceed 90 days in 12 consecutive months for some situations).
Important points / common pitfalls
  • You must wait for the vacancy reporting period to expire and for the Labour Office to confirm that no local / EU jobseeker filled the role. Can't skip this unless exempted. Ensure all foreign documents are officially translated and, if needed, authenticated. Delays often happen here.
  • The work permit is tied to the employer, job, and place of work. Changing employer means either a new permit or notifying the authorities depending on permit type.
