Attorney support while your case is being processed
This service is most often used when applying for or renewing temporary and permanent residence at the foreign police in Slovakia (cudzinecká polícia). It also fits citizenship cases and other administrative proceedings that take longer than a month.
Once the power of attorney is filed with the relevant authority, all official correspondence on your case goes to the attorney. You receive a scan of every letter and clear guidance — and you do not miss anything important.
What is included
- Power of attorney prepared for you: we draw up the document with your details and explain the next steps. Your part: have your signature certified by a notary and file the document with the relevant authority.
- 12 months of correspondence monitoring: all official communication on your case goes through the attorney.
- A scan of every letter, with a short explanation of what arrived and whether anything is required from you.
- Status enquiry: if your case takes longer than usual, the attorney files an official enquiry with the authority and finds out where it stands.
- If more is needed: once the situation is clear, we tell you what to do next. If an appeal, document preparation or other representation is required, we will suggest a suitable option.
