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.

How we work

  1. Consultation

    We review your case free of charge and propose a plan and a timeline.

  2. Collecting documents

    We check every document and order translations and apostilles.

  3. Filing

    We book the slot, fill in the applications and go there with you.

  4. Result

    We track the decision and respond to any requests from the authorities.

Who we work with

Some tasks we handle together with specialised partners — that way you get an expert in each area instead of a generalist in all of them.

  • Smart Study in business since 2019

    Admission to Slovak universities and colleges

    We guide students together: Smart Study handles choosing the university, the documents and enrolment; we handle the visa, residence permit and legalisation after the move.

Client reviews

Olga K.
Živnosť trade licence
★★★★★

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.

Andrii M.
Residence permit through employment
★★★★★

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.

Nataliia V.
Extending dočasné útočisko
★★★★

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.

Serhii P.
Exchanging a driving licence
★★★★★

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.

Iryna L.
Residence permit through business
★★★★★

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.

Dmytro H.
Diploma recognition
★★★★★

Got my engineering diploma recognised. Turns out you file with the okresný úrad, not the ministry — I would never have known. Took about two months.

Frequently asked questions

How much do your services cost?
Pricing is individual: it depends on your status and situation. At the free consultation we quote the exact price and fix it in the contract before we start — with no extra charges along the way.
How long does a residence permit take?
The police have up to 90 days to decide once a complete application is filed. Together with collecting the documents, the process usually takes two to four months.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. Consultations, document checks and preparation happen online. You only need to appear in person where the law requires it — for example when filing at the foreign police — and we go with you.
What if my application is refused?
We check every document before filing, so refusals are rare. If one happens, we identify the reason and prepare a new application or an appeal. The terms are set out in the contract.
What language do we communicate in?
English, Russian or Ukrainian — whichever suits you. We deal with the Slovak authorities ourselves.
Are you a law firm?
We are a consultancy specialising in legalisation. For matters that require an attorney, such as appeals and court cases, we work with partner Slovak lawyers.
