Can my spouse and children join me while I hold employment residence in Slovakia?

Holding temporary residence for employment makes you a sponsor for family reunification. Your spouse (both spouses must be at least 18) and your dependent children can apply for their own temporary residence on that basis.

They apply for family reunification, not for employment, so they have their own application and documents (for example proof of the family relationship and proof that their stay is financially covered). Their residence is generally linked to the validity of yours, so keep your own permit valid and renewed on time to protect their status.
