Slovakia Rations Hiring by Workforce Composition, Not by Embassy, and Caps One Visa Class at Three Thousand a Year
Slovakia does not ration applications at the consulate. It rations them in two other places, and both are easy to miss because neither is in the residence Act. The first is inside the employer. Section 21b(7)(f) of Act No. 5/2004 Z. z. lets the labour office issue the confirmation of the possibility of filling a vacancy without regard to the labour market where the job is a shortage occupation in the region - but only where the employer, on the day it applies, employs fewer than 45 per cent third-country nationals out of its total staff, counting only contracts of at least half the standard weekly hours. Above that line the shortcut closes and the ordinary labour-market test in section 21b(6) returns, with its requirement under section 21b(4)(b)(1) that the vacancy was notified at least twenty working days earlier. The second is a number. Government Regulation No. 521/2021 Z. z. declares it in the interest of the Slovak Republic to grant a national visa to graduates of a second-degree programme at a university in Slovakia or in Czechia, of a university or research institution on its Annex 1, or of a three-year programme where the job is on its Annex 2 - and section 1(2) caps those visas at 3,000 in a calendar year, not counting a visa for employment granted to someone who already held a job-seeking visa. The visa runs 90 days to look for work, then up to a year for the job, and section 1(5) forbids a second visa on the same ground.
Topics it changes
What it requires
- An employer whose third-country staff are under 45 per cent of the total, if the shortage-occupation shortcut is what you are relying on
- A vacancy notified at least twenty working days earlier, if it is not
- A degree from Slovakia or Czechia, or from the regulation's own lists, for the national visa route
At a glance
- Where the quota is
- In the employer's workforce, not at an embassy
Section 21b(7)(f) of Act No. 5/2004 Z. z. Czechia rations business visas and employee cards per embassy under section 181b of Act No. 326/1999 Sb.
- The ceiling
- Under 45 per cent third-country nationals
Section 21b(7)(f) of Act No. 5/2004 Z. z., counting staff on contracts of at least half the standard weekly hours.

What the law says
«f) výkon zamestnania s nedostatkom pracovnej sily štátnym príslušníkom tretej krajiny v kraji podľa § 12 písm. ad) u zamestnávateľa, ktorý ku dňu podania žiadosti podľa odseku 2 zamestnáva menej ako 45 % štátnych príslušníkov tretej krajiny z celkového počtu zamestnancov, pričom do celkového počtu zamestnancov sa započítavajú zamestnanci v pracovnom pomere dohodnutom najmenej v rozsahu polovice ustanoveného týždenného pracovného času;»Our translation - not official
f) the performance of an occupation with a labour shortage by a third-country national in a region under section 12(ad) with an employer which, on the day of lodging the application under paragraph 2, employs fewer than 45 per cent third-country nationals out of the total number of employees, whereby the total number of employees includes employees in an employment relationship agreed for at least half of the standard weekly working time;
The condition is about the employer and is tested on the day the employer applies, so a worker's route can close for reasons they had no part in.

Practical notes
The register of shortage occupations by region under section 12(ad) of Act No. 5/2004 Z. z. is kept administratively and was not read, so nothing here says which occupations are on it.
Annexes 1 and 2 to Government Regulation No. 521/2021 Z. z. are served as separate downloads by the publisher and were not read, so nothing here says which universities or occupations they name.
Nothing here is a statement about how much of the 3,000 remains at any moment. The regulation provides for no publication of the running total.
