Fun fact

Did you know that Non-EU/EFTA nationals need a work permit from the Labour, Social Affairs and Family office and a separate residence permit from the Foreign Police?

A foreigner being appointed as a Managing Director of the company must obtain a residency permit in Slovakia for purposes of his/her registration with the Slovak Commercial Register. Slovak law makes exceptions only for citizens from EU or OECD member states.
