A national of a third country who has been granted a temporary residence permit must submit to the police department a medical certificate confirming that he does not suffer from an illness that threatens public health within 30 days of receiving the residence permit. Examination of foreigners for this purpose is provided by medicalcontrol.sk in 7 cities throughout Slovakia.
A foreigner does not have this obligation if:
this is the granting of temporary residence for the purpose of fulfilling official duties by the civilian components of the armed forces
it is a foreigner who has the status of a Slovak living abroad or
it is a foreigner who has been granted the status of a person with a long-term residence in another member state
and if it concerns a change in the type or purpose of stay.
A medical certificate confirming that he does not suffer from a disease that threatens public health must not be older than 30 days.
In the past, if a national of a third country was granted temporary residence for the purpose of doing business, he was obliged to submit, within 60 days of taking over the residence document, an extract from the commercial register of the natural person – entrepreneur, business company or cooperative that he stated in the application. Currently, a foreigner no longer has this obligation.
A citizen of a third country is obliged to submit a document confirming health insurance to the police department within 30 days of taking over the residence permit. If he does business as a self-employed person, he will be insured in the public health insurance system (that is, in one of these health insurance companies: VšZP, Union, Dôvera). If he is doing business as a charter member of a commercial company (executive, member of the board), he will be able to have commercial health insurance for a foreigner.
Foreigners can also get insurance directly on this link.
