Visas and residency when moving to Slovakia
Check the entry requirements for Slovakia in the UK government travel advice.
For how to apply for a visa to enter Slovakia, read IOM Migration Information Centre’s guidance on visas and residency and Slovak Embassy in London’s visa guidance for more information.
If you are resident in Slovakia, you must always carry and show both your valid passport (as a proof of identity) and your valid residence permit. Police officers may ask to see them.
Visas and residency if you were living in Slovakia before 1 January 2021
If you have lived in Slovakia since before 1 January 2021, you and your family members have rights under the Withdrawal Agreement.
If you have an EU residence card (Pobytovy Preukaz Obcana EU) it is no longer valid, regardless of its expiry date. You need a new residence document (Povolenie na pobyt) instead.
The Povolenie na pobyt shows that you have rights under the Withdrawal Agreement. It also shows your right to enter Slovakia, and exempts you from the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) and visa requirements.
The deadline for applying for the Povolenie na pobyt was 30 June 2021. You will not have to pay a fine if you apply after this date, but your non-EU family members may need to. Your rights and your non-EU family members’ rights under the Withdrawal Agreement will not be affected by a late application.
You should also read:
Slovak Ministry of Interior guidance for UK nationals, which includes information on the Withdrawal Agreement residency scheme- how to find the address of your local Foreigners Police department where you must go to get the new residence card
- how to book an appointment online with the Slovak Foreigners Police Units (in Slovak)
- the IOM Migration Information Centre’s FAQs on Withdrawal Agreement residency applications.
This information is correct as of 30 June 2021. It should be read
together with any information issued by the Slovak government after this
date
If you need additional support to obtain your residency document, contact your local Foreigners Police office.
If you have a Withdrawal Agreement residence card issued in 2020
If your Withdrawal Agreement residence card was issued in 2020, you should have received a letter from the Slovak Foreigners Police about updating it. Although your card remains valid, you should apply for the 2021 updated version of the Withdrawal Agreement residence card (Povolenie na pobyt). This 2021 version has ‘Clanok 50 ZEU’ in the ‘type of permit’ field. Having the 2021 version of the card will minimize potential delays and inconvenience when crossing a Schengen border control. You can also use it in another EU country to prove that you have rights under the Withdrawal Agreement in Slovakia.
To get the 2021 version of the Povolenie na pobyt residence card, book an appointment online with your local Foreigners Police Office and take with you:
- your valid passport
- your residence card
- a copy of the letter from the Foreigners Police, if you have it
If your Povolenie na pobyt residence card was issued in 2021, and you have not received a letter from the Foreigners Police, your card is already in the correct format. You do not need to take any action.

Guide to Moving to Slovakia from the UK
Moving to Slovakia is an exciting journey! Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process.
1. Check Visa Requirements
- EU Citizens: As a UK citizen, you will need to apply for a visa or residence permit. Research the requirements based on your purpose (work, study, or family reunification).
- Work Visa: If you have a job offer, your employer may assist you in obtaining a work visa.
2. Apply for a Visa or Residence Permit
- Application Process: Gather necessary documents, including a valid passport, proof of employment or study, and financial means. Submit your application at the Slovak embassy or consulate in the UK.
- Processing Time: Allow sufficient time for processing, as it can take several weeks.
3. Find Accommodation
- Temporary Housing: Consider short-term rentals or hotels upon arrival.
- Long-Term Housing: Use online platforms like Nehnutelnosti or Reality.sk to find permanent housing.
4. Health Insurance
- Mandatory Health Insurance: Ensure you have health insurance coverage, which is required for residence permits. Consider both private and public options.
5. Open a Slovak Bank Account
- Banking: Research local banks and prepare identification (passport, proof of residence) to open an account. This will facilitate transactions and salary deposits.
6. Job Search
- Employment Opportunities: If not already employed, search for jobs on Slovak job portals like Profesia.sk or LinkedIn. Tailor your CV to meet local standards.

Passports and travel when moving to Slovakia from UK.
You can apply for or renew your British passport from Slovakia.
Check the Slovakia travel advice for passport validity requirements.
Always carry your passport and residence permit when travelling within the Schengen area. If you have citizenship of an EU or European Free Trade Association (EFTA) country in addition to British citizenship, you should enter and leave Slovakia using your EU or EFTA passport.
If you stay in Slovakia with a Slovak residence permit or long stay visa, this time does not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit for the Schengen area.
If you visit other Schengen area countries outside Slovakia, make sure you do not exceed the visa-free 90 days in any 180-day period. This applies even if you have a Slovak residence permit. You are responsible for counting how long you stay under the Schengen visa waiver, and you must comply with its conditions.
Different rules apply if you are travelling to other EU and Schengen countries as a resident of Slovakia. Check each country’s travel advice page for information on entry requirements.
If you were living in Slovakia before 1 January 2021
When you travel, carry your residence document (Povolenie na pobyt) or frontier worker permit issued under the Withdrawal Agreement, in addition to your valid passport.
You must proactively show your residence document if you are asked to show your passport at border control. If you have applied for, but not yet received, your residence document, show your certificate of registration. If you cannot prove that you are a resident in Slovakia, you may be asked additional questions at the border to enter the EU.
Your passport may be stamped on entry and exit. This will not affect your rights in the country or countries where you live or work. If a passport is stamped, the stamp is considered null and void when you can show evidence of lawful residence. Read EU guidance for UK nationals on entering and leaving the Schengen area.
If you have rights under the Withdrawal Agreement, you can enter and exit Slovakia with a valid passport. You do not need any additional validity on the passport beyond the dates on which you are travelling.
Saving money on International removals.
You can save money when moving internationally by working on reducing the volume of your consignment. Most international removals are based on a price per cubic metre.
By reducing your volume you should be able to reduce your removal costs.
Firstly really analyze what you are taking. If its cheap, big and bulky maybe its not worth taking? After that then flat pack down any furniture that you can and dismantle items to make them as compact as possible. The smaller the better. Maybe tape bits together or box them to make things easier to move and stack.
When packing boxes use clothes and bedding as padding rather than bubble wrap to further reduce your volume.
Remember not to pack boxes too heavy, make sure you can still lift it yourself. max box weight should really be 15 to 20 Kgs or the removal men will struggle and crushing may occur in the box or within the load on the truck.
