Tolerated residence due to an obstacle in administrative expulsion (Tolerovaný pobyt z dôvodu prekážky administratívneho vyhostenia)

What

This type of tolerated stay can be granted to you if you cannot be expulsed into the state in which your life could be threatened for the reasons of your race, nationality, religion, membership in a particular social group or for your political convection, or in which you would be threatened by torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Similarly, a foreigner cannot be expulsed into the state in which he/she was imposed the death penalty or it can be assumed that he/she can be imposed such a penalty in the ongoing criminal proceedings. Expulsion into a state in which your life and freedom would be threatened is also forbidden. This shall not apply, if you threaten the safety of the Slovak Republic by your actions or if you were sentenced for a crime, which represents a threat for the country.

How

You can apply for this status at the Foreign police department according to the place of your stay. Try to find a lawyer experienced in immigration law before you do so. Applications are available here (in English and Spanish): www.minv.sk/?pobyt-cudzinca
