Slovakia Business Investor Residency Program

Slovakia Business Investor Residency Program enables third-country individuals to obtain a residence permit in Slovakia when establishing and investing in their own or majority-owned businesses.

Slovakia is a great choice for business emigration in the EU. The country has thriving automobile plants, growing agriculture, and offices of global IT companies. Slovakia's small population of 5.5 million and robust economic growth make it an attractive destination for business immigrants, offering a straightforward path to obtain a residence permit. Acquiring a residence permit is a straightforward process, and by following the correct steps, one can even set the course for citizenship within a decade, securing a place in Slovakia's promising business landscape.

At Citizen Lane, we excel in managing the application and negotiation process with the relevant Slovakian authorities, making it a part of our core expertise. Our international recognition in this sector is built on our success in obtaining Slovakian residence permits, and many global immigration agents trust our proficiency in this field.

Investors can obtain Slovakia residence permits if they make a significant contribution to the economy. In addition, a registered business should incorporate new jobs. The procedure of registering a business is quick and can even be initiated prior to arrival in the country through a power of attorney.

To enter Slovakia, a separate entry visa with a 3-month validity period is required. Upon arrival in Slovakia, one should apply for a residence permit, which typically takes up to 30 days to process. The residence permit will be granted by the local authorities in Slovakia, and its validity generally spans from 1 to 3 years. Renewing the residence permit is mandatory, with the additional requirement of demonstrating the stability and growth of the business.

In just 5 years, you and your family will obtain the status of a permanent resident of Slovakia. Furthermore, after 10 years, you can become a citizen of Slovakia, opening up a wide range of business opportunities for you in the future.
