Advantages: This is the easiest and cheapest way to get a residence permit for family members of the person who already has a residence permit. Husband / wife on reunification has the right to work immediately (but you still need to get permission on the labor exchange). A husband / wife on reunion can open s.r.o. or individual entrepreneurship and conduct business.

Disadvantages: Residence permit directly depends on the residence permit of the reuniting person.

Necessary steps:

1. One of the family members must have a residence permit on the basis of work or entrepreneurship. Children cannot reunite their parents except for a single dependant parent. Parents can reunite children if they are under 18 years of age.
2. A completed application for the residence permit;
3. State fee in amount of 165 euro (paid at police station, no payment for children under 18 years old).
4. Two color photos 3 x 3.5 cm;
5. A certificate of non-conviction with an apostille (superlegalization) from the home country and from the countries where the applicant lived at least 90 days for six months during the last 3 years, translated into Slovak by an authorized interpreter. The certificate and apostille (superlegalization) are made in the country from which the certificate has been issued and translated into Slovak language by a licensed state interpreter (price is 23 euros per page).
   A certificate is not needed for children under 14 years old.
6. Birth certificate with an apostille (superlegalization) for the reunification of children (single dependant parent) and a certificate of marriage with an apostille (superlegalization) for the reunification of the husband / wife. Then the evidence should be translated by a judicial interpreter in Slovakia. The cost for translation is about 40 euros.
7. Confirmation of the accommodation in Slovakia. Should be given in form of a notarized statement from the owner of the apartment which is handed over to you, and a certificate from the real estate cadaster for this apartment.
   Usually, the apartment is already rented by the reuniting person.
8. Statement of financial guarantees for Person. Account statement from the bank with the amount of at least 2400 euros for each grown up (husband/wife/dependant single relative) and 1200 euros for each child.
9. In the case of the reunification of children, if the second parent does not have a residence permit and does not apply for reunification, then his notarized consent for the departure and reunification of the child, with the apostille and translated into Slovak, is mandatory.
10. After receiving the residence permit card within 30 days, you must pass a mandatory medical examination and report it to the police. The cost of medical examination is 198 euros.

An application for the residence permit for family reunification is considered up to 90 days. After obtaining the residence permit for reunification, you need to buy health insurance, costs from 300 to 650 euros per person per year, depending on the coverage value.
