Smooth Residence Permit Renewal in Slovakia
Professional support at every stage, before you apply and throughout the review
Preparing to renew your temporary residence permit (prechodný pobyt) in Slovakia and want to get through the whole process calmly, both before you apply and after?
Smooth Residence Permit Renewal is a package that covers both stages. Before you apply, you go through your documents and the next steps one-on-one with a migration specialist. After you apply, official letters about your case go to an attorney, and throughout the proceedings you receive their scans with a clear explanation.
Price: €299 instead of €358 if you buy the two services separately.
Who this package is for
The package suits those who want to prepare for their renewal in advance and keep support after submitting their documents. It also suits those working towards permanent residence (trvalý pobyt) who want to complete the temporary residence stage without stress.
It is especially useful if you:
- are renewing your permit for business, employment, study or family reunification;
- are renewing for the first time or applying together with your family;
- want to prepare the right documents and understand the steps before you apply;
- are considering electronic submission through the Foreign Police (cudzinecká polícia) portal;
- do not want to miss a letter from the police while waiting for a decision;
- travel often and cannot keep track of your post yourself.
What is included
1. Smooth Residence Permit Renewal Preparation
A 30-minute online video call with a migration specialist before you submit your documents. The specialist will go through the purpose of your permit, the documents for renewal and the submission format with you, and answer your questions in plain language, without rushing.
2. Guardian Shield
You grant a power of attorney to an attorney in Slovakia and attach it to your renewal application. From then on, the police send correspondence about your case to the attorney, and you receive a scan of every letter with a clear explanation: what arrived and whether you need to do anything. If the proceedings drag on, the attorney can send an official status request. More about how Guardian Shield works

How is the package different from buying the two services separately?
The package costs €299 instead of €358 if bought separately (€99 + €259). On top of that, the consultation and the power of attorney are handled in parallel, which is faster and more convenient.
I have already applied. Can I buy only Guardian Shield?
Yes. If your documents are already submitted and you do not need the preparation, take a look at Guardian Shield on its own: €259 for 12 months.
When should I buy the package: before or after applying?
Before. That way you have time to go through your documents with the specialist and have your signature on the power of attorney certified, so you can attach it to your renewal application.
What is a power of attorney and what do I need to do?
It is an official document under which the Foreign Police send correspondence about your case to the attorney. We prepare the power of attorney with your details and send you instructions. All you need to do is have your signature certified by a notary and attach one copy to your renewal application.
Is the package suitable if I am applying together with my family?
Yes. At the consultation, the specialist takes all applicants into account. Please state the number of family members when you describe your request after payment.
Can I apply electronically?
Yes. If you are considering it, the specialist will explain at the consultation how electronic submission through the Foreign Police portal works.
What language is the consultation in?
Slovak, English or Russian, whichever you prefer.
What happens after payment?
You briefly describe your request and provide the details for the power of attorney. We match you with a specialist, agree on a time for the consultation and prepare the power of attorney.
What if the consultation shows I need a different kind of help?
We will offer a suitable alternative or refund your money.
