A permanent residence permit authorizes a foreign national to long-term residence in Slovakia and to travel abroad and back to Slovakia. It is a more stable type of residence, which is granted to foreign nationals for a longer period than temporary residence. Foreign nationals with permanent residence enjoy the same rights and duties as all citizens of the Slovak republic in most areas of life (e.g. employment, health care, social affairs, and public life on the regional level).

Permit for the permanent residence on the territory of Slovak republic is granted for the first time for the period of five years ("first permit").

A permanent residence permit is first granted for the period of five years and after this time the Police Authority can grant, based on an application of the foreigner, so called "further permit" which is valid for an unlimited period of time.
