Foreigners must notify the Foreigners’ Police about changes to their address, employment or studies, family and legal status, and about lost or replaced documents. For third-country nationals, the source states deadlines of three working days to report arrival and five working days to report an address change.
According to the source, maintaining legal residence in Slovakia requires more than obtaining a residence permit: foreigners must keep their personal and residence records up to date. Notifications are particularly important when changing accommodation, losing a job, interrupting studies, or changing the purpose of residence, as these circumstances may affect the legality of stay and future renewals. The duties apply broadly to foreigners, with specific deadlines stated for third-country nationals. Anyone relocating should plan for deadline tracking and document updates, especially when changing address or employment frequently.
