Residence registration of EU citizens and their family members is not possible for now. The right of abode is automatic, based on the law and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. These citizens can come to the Foreign Police Office for registration of residence as soon as the preventive measures  are cancelled. They will not be penalized for failing in their duty of registration of residence during the time of the preventive measures, according to the Law about the residence of foreigners, § 66 or § 70.

For foreigners with short-term residence (up to 90 days) who cannot leave the country because of the current situation, the procedure is as follows:

If the person has visa for a period of time shorter than 90 days, they can ask for prolongation (max. 90 days) at a corresponding Foreign Police Office. If the visa for 90 days is already granted and they still cannot leave the country, the person has to come to a Foreign Police Office immediately after expiration. They will receive a Declaration about administrative banishment,  without the ban on entering the country, with a 30-day time limit for leaving the country. During these 30 days they can stay in the Slovak Republic (they will be in the regime of staying in the Slovak Republic according to the Law about the residence of foreigners, § 61a). If the situation doesn’t change until the expiration of the 30-day  period, on the 30th day they should go to the same Foreign Police Office again and fill in the application  for prolongation of the time limit for leaving the country.  This limit will be prolonged according to the contemporary situation in the Slovak Republic, in the EU and in their country of origin (can be prolonged by several months). The same procedure with the Declaration about administrative  banishment will be applied also to visa-free foreigners 90 days after entering the Slovak Republic.

This is not valid for students (or employees of Comenius University) who are holders of the Certificate of a Slovak living abroad and made an application  for a temporary residence  according to the Law about the residence of foreigners, § 29. In this case, they can be in the Slovak Republic  until their application is resolved (or longer if the residence is granted).

You can come to the Foreign Police Office without any former telephonic or email communication but you have to obey the current hygienic measure: face mask or any other form of face protection.
