About the Slovakian Business Residency Program 2020

While Slovakia offers no formal Golden Visa Program or Citizenship By Investment Program as of 2020, the government does encourage foreign investment and the formation of foreign owned business that make a meaningful contribution to the local economy. The country’s migration laws therefore support investment based immigration to Slovakia.

Our proven, step-by-step approach to business establishment, capitalisation and Slovakian residency applications is largely proprietary, however a business investment of no less than €150,000 typically serves as the basis upon which Slovakian residency applications can be made.

For basic companies, the minimum taxes payable per annum is €3,500, with income tax set at 21%.
