Can my family come with me as a researcher in Slovakia, and can my spouse work?

The research framework is designed to be family-friendly. Your spouse and dependent children can apply for residence to join you, and researchers' families benefit from simplified mobility within the EU.

A practical advantage is that a researcher's spouse typically has prompt access to the labour market, so they are not locked out of working while in Slovakia. Family members apply on the family-reunification basis, with the usual relationship, accommodation and financial-coverage documents.
