Slovakia caps business-residence permits

Slovakia caps business-residence permits

By Sam Parks · Last reviewed: 1 June 2026

A Slovak reform effective 1 July 2025 placed a hard annual quota on business and entrepreneurial residence permits and tightened their requirements.

What changed

Business and entrepreneurial residence permits are now capped by a sharply reduced annual global quota.
Applicants must submit a detailed business plan, and the permit is issued for a fixed three years.
Slovakia continues to have no official digital-nomad visa; remote workers use the business-residence route.

Routes affected

Temporary Residence for Business / Self-Employment (Slovakia)
Temporary Residence for Employment / Single Permit (Slovakia)
