Tolerated residence for unaccompanied minors (Tolerovaný pobyt maloletého bez sprievodu)
What
If you are younger than 18 years and you did not apply for asylum in Slovakia, Foreign Police (according to the place of your stay in Slovakia) may grant you tolerated residence for unaccompanied minors. However, the Police is obliged to inform the so-called Labour Office (Úrad práce, sociálnych vecí a rodiny) and entrust a minor to them. If this is your case, be aware that you will be placed to the special facility for unaccompanied minors, because according to the law, State will be in such a case responsible over your safety and security. Ask them for an interpreter.
How
You can apply at the Foreign Police Department according to the place of your stay. Applications are available here (in English and Spanish): www.minv.sk/?pobyt-cudzinca
