Getting a job and work permission

Documents & Requirements

Employment offer

The statutory wage-floor reference is not a verified threshold for every residence category. Request the job’s pay classification, guaranteed gross amount and working hours.

Permission to work

The ordinary employment process involves the employer and labour authority. A highly qualified Blue Card application has different requirements, so the employer should identify the route before the salary is assessed.

Living in Slovakia

For rotating shifts, public transport may not run at the required hours. Check whether a company bus is provided and whether its cost is deducted from wages.
