Tolerated residence if your departure from Slovakia is impossible and your detention would be inefficient (Tolerovaný pobyt z dôvodu že vaše vycestovanie nie je možné a zaistenie by nesplnilo účel)

What

If there is any technical obstacle to your departure, for instance you do not have a valid passport, you can apply for this type of a short stay. It is always important to state all reasons why you apply for such residence. Police afterwards contacts the embassy of your country of origin in order to receive a temporary “passport” for your return.

How

You can apply at the Foreign Police Department by 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
