Application procedure
Applying for renewal of residence
The application shall be submitted in person at the department of the Aliens Police in the Slovak Republic where the alien has a registered previous residence. Such an application cannot be submitted on the basis of a power of attorney, i.e. on behalf of the applicant. A representative person may assist with the application, however, due to the fact that the applicant must submit to the taking of biometric data, i.e. fingerprints and facial images, when applying for residence.
A foreigner may apply for temporary residence for the purpose of doing business in the Slovak Republic only if he/she is lawfully residing on the basis of visa-free travel or has been granted a D national visa. If the applicant is staying in the territory of the Slovak Republic on the basis of a Schengen C visa, it is not possible to submit an application in Slovakia. In this case, you must submit your application to the embassy of the country of which you are a citizen or where you are allowed to reside.
The application for renewal of temporary residence is made on an official form. When submitting it, the foreigner is obliged to present a valid passport together with all the documents stipulated by law. If some of the supporting documents are missing, the embassy or police department will not accept the application. In this case, the foreigner will receive written information on which documents need to be completed in order for the application to be accepted.
Needed documents
When submitting an application for renewal of the foreigner's residence in the Slovak Republic, the applicant must submit the following documents:
- Completed application form - the official form is correctly and completely filled in "Application for renewal of temporary residence, ENG (205.6 kB), PDF".
- Valid passport - must be valid for at least the duration of the stay.
- Document confirming the purpose of your stay - for example, a contract of employment, a certificate of studies, proof of family ties or any other document proving your legal residence.
- Certificate of financial security - a bank statement or other proof of sufficient funds to cover living costs.
- Criminal records - issued by the competent authorities of the applicant's home country and countries where he/she has lived for a long time, with appropriate legalisation.
- Proof of accommodation - lease agreement, title deed or written consent of the property owner to the applicant's residence.
- Health insurance - proof of valid health insurance in the territory of the Slovak Republic.
- Administrative fee - The amount varies according to the method of application and must be paid within a specified time limit.
Approval process
The police have a statutory period of 90 days to decide on the application.
If necessary, it may ask for the documentation to be completed, which may prolong the process.
Granting and issuing a residence card
If the application is approved, the foreigner will be issued with a new residence card, which will be sent by the administrative authority to the correspondence address or can be collected by the foreigner at the competent department of the Aliens Police where the application for renewal of residence was submitted.
The most common reasons for refusing an application
- Insufficient financial security - if the applicant fails to prove sufficient financial means to cover his/her living expenses during his/her stay in the territory of the Slovak Republic.
- Missing or incorrect documents - if the applicant submits incomplete, outdated or incorrectly completed documents which do not comply with the requirements laid down by the legislation.
- Negative security clearance - if the results of a security check or criminal record check show that the applicant has a negative past that could endanger public order.
- Failure to comply with the conditions of residence - if the applicant fails to prove that he/she has complied with all the conditions laid down by the legislation during the previous stay (e.g. illegal employment, failure to notify a change of address, etc.).
Residency renewal is an option for those who wish to continue to reside in the Slovak Republic and fulfil their obligations. With proper preparation and compliance with all conditions, the process can be successful. It is important to carefully prepare all documents, meet all conditions and eliminate any deficiencies that could lead to the rejection of the application.
