Dear clients,\u00a0
The Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic informs about recent changes in the Act on the Residence of Aliens No. 404\/2011. More information is available via the press release below.<\/p>

Slovakia aligns legislation with\u00a0Directive (EU) 2021\/1883 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 October 2021 on the conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals for the purposes of highly qualified employment<\/a>.

The period for which it is issued\u00a0the confirmation of the possibility of filling a vacancy corresponding to a highly skilled job is extended from 4 to 5 years<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>

The Blue Card of the European Union is a temporary residence permitting a third-country national to enter, reside, work in the territory of the Slovak Republic for the purpose of highly qualified employment, to leave the territory of the Slovak Republic and to re-enter the territory of the Slovak Republic for the period for which it was issued to him\/her.<\/p>

They are also expanding\u00a0\u00a0definitions of situations in which a third-country national may be refused entry to or residence on the territory of the Slovak Republic.

For example, where the identity of the irregular migrant cannot be clearly established.\u00a0<\/p>

In the context of tackling illegal migration, it is proposed to introduce the following in the case of the surrender of an alien\u00a0authorisation of a police officer to search a telephone, telecommunications, audiovisual or similar equipment or electronic medium<\/strong>carried by the alien in order to establish his identity and nationality as quickly as possible.<\/p>
