Živnosť done in 4 days. I live in Košice and never went to their office — everything over WhatsApp, one trip to the úrad to sign. They actually explained the health insurance part; I had spent a week googling and only got more confused.

Our services
Why us
We go to the police with you
We accompany you — or go on your behalf — to the cudzinecká polícia, the živnostenský úrad and the insurance offices, so you never face the counter alone.
Fixed price
The cost is written into the contract before work begins. No "pay a bit more" halfway through.
We track your deadlines
We warn you about renewal and filing dates well in advance so nothing slips past you.
We speak your language
Fluent English, Russian and Ukrainian. We translate every Slovak document and explain it in plain words.
Who you will be working with
We are a small team in Bratislava. You are not writing to a call centre: the person who replies is the one who will go to the police with you.

Residence permit cases
Works through your situation at the consultation, assembles the document pack and comes with you to the Foreign Police. Stays on the case until the residence card is in your hands, then reminds you about renewal.

Client reviews
My employer sat on the paperwork for a month. They wrote to HR themselves and three days later it was done. We went to the police on Hrobákova together — genuinely helped, I would not have known which window to go to.
Wrote on Sunday evening, had a plan Monday. Extended without queuing. Only thing — they were a bit late to the first meeting, but they did warn me. Would recommend overall.
Swapped my Ukrainian licence, no exam. Waited 5 weeks for the Slovak one — that is the inspectorate, not them. They got my medical certificate sorted the same day.
Could not decide between živnosť and s.r.o. for ages. They laid it out with numbers in half an hour — went with živnosť, no regrets. Filed once, got my card in July.
Got my engineering diploma recognised. Turns out you file with a university that has a similar programme, not the ministry — I would never have known. Took about two months.
