Work permit for workers

What

Not applicable in Slovakia (work permits are issued only to particular groups of foreigners). The legal system of Slovakia does not recognise a special category of employment for third country nationals–workers. If they wish to work in the Slovak Republic, they must either use the single residence and work permit or apply for a work permit and subsequently for temporary residence. In the case of legal employment of third country nationals in Slovakia, it is always necessary to prove such knowledge or skills, which are not mastered by any job seeker recorded in the job seekers registry. The employment of foreigners without specific education or qualifications is therefore very complicated.
