First integration policy in Slovakia formulates integration measures in areas such as citizenship, culture and society, education, housing, health care, employment and social protection, as well as specifically with regard to self-governing regions and unaccompanied minors. This document was approved by the Government of the Slovak Republic on 29 January 2014 replacing the Concept of Foreigners Integration in the Slovak Republic from 2009.

This focused study examines and compares the different legal frameworks, procedures and practices in the EU Member States to enable third-country nationals to change migration status, as well as the conditions associated with such changes.

The aim of the study is also to inform about the scope of rights that the applicant acquires after this change in comparison with the previous status and to analyse the motivations of the EU Member States to allow these changes. The study also looks at existing obstacles, good practice and lessons learnt.

A study presents a brief overview of the organisation of political, legislative and institutional context of migration and asylum in the EU Member States and Norway. The first version of the study for the Slovak Republic covers the period from establishment of the independent Slovak Republic on 1 January 1993, through the end of 2008. Updated versions of the study for the Slovak Republic cover the following periods: from 1993 till April 2010, from 1993 till July 2012 and from 1993 till the end of July 2014.

The study deals with the political and legislative framework regulating the participation of third-country nationals in EU Member States and Norway´s social security system, their access to various social security benefits and healthcare, and related administrative procedures. It also provides an overview of bilateral agreements that EU Member States have concluded with third countries in the field of social security, and a statistical overview of the number of employed, unemployed, and economically inactive third-country nationals. The publication contains three case studies presenting the way of applying for the respective types of benefits as well as of the administrative procedures and decision-making of state authorities related to the granting of the benefits. 

This focussed study describes the political and legislative measures in the EU countries and Norway in the area of attracting highly qualified and qualified workers – third country nationals. It also deals with the issue of effectiveness of such measures and their evaluation. The challenges and barriers for this group of migrants in accessing the respective labour markets are also described.

This study aims at describing the national system of education and relevant legislative measures with the focus on international students – third country nationals as well as the general practice in the EU Member States and Norway towards this group of international students. The study provides also information on international cooperation and impacts of the mobility of international students onto the above-mentioned European countries. 

This focussed study provides overview on legislation in the EU Member States and Norway related to intra-EU mobility of third country nationals, on barriers which influence migrants´ labour mobility within the EU as well as on related statistical data about this phenomenon.  

The study provides information on the policies, legislation and strategic documents as well as the upcoming or planned measures in the field of temporary and circular migration and analyses relevant statistical data available in the EU Member States

The study analyses policies, strategies and visions for the future in the field of labour migration in individual EU Member States. It deals with the current legislation in force, plans for future legislative changes, the transposition of EU acquis, the practical implementation of legislation, current trends and future development in the field of labour migration to the Member States and the co-operation with third countries in the field of economic migration.
