Can my family join me while I study in Slovakia?

Holding valid temporary residence as a student can make you a sponsor for family reunification, allowing a spouse or dependent children to apply for their own residence to join you.

They apply on the family-reunification basis, with documents proving the relationship, accommodation and financial coverage, and their residence is linked to the validity of yours. Because your study residence depends on continued enrolment, protecting your own status, by staying enrolled and renewing on time, is essential to keeping your family's status secure as well.
