HOW TO MOVE TO SLOVAKIA?
Relocation to Slovakia. There are several ways to immigrate to Slovakia:
Business. This is the most promising method of immigration. For entrepreneurs, the procedure for obtaining a residence permit is quite simple and consists of several stages. First, you need to register your company or purchase an existing business in this country. It is also important to be a director of this company. Additional requirements are issued medical insurance, absence of problems with the law, availability of rented or purchased housing. If your company prospers, this may serve to extend your residence permit. The advantages of doing business in Slovakia are: political and economic stability, a large selection of land plots for industrial development, good telecommunications infrastructure, low wages compared to high productivity, access to European loans and at European rates, reasonable taxation.
Job. If you have entered into a contract with a Slovak employer, you can receive a work visa for a period of 1 year. It is impossible to obtain a work visa before finding an employer. At the same time as working on a visa, a foreigner can receive education.
Education. Studying in Slovakia is an excellent option for legal immigration. Significant advantages include the opportunity not only to learn the Slovak language and receive a European education, but also after graduation it will be easier to find a job or open your own business. Foreign students have equal rights with local applicants, and can also work part-time.
Marriage. Immigration to the country under the family reunification program is a fairly popular way of moving. A residence permit for a spouse of a resident of Slovakia is issued almost immediately after submitting an application for it. Many residents of the state earn extra money by offering fictitious marriages for a certain amount.
