On April 6, 2022, the public health authorities of the Slovak Republic lifted most of the restrictions related to Covid-19 for citizens of the EU Member States, as well as for foreigners legally residing in the Schengen area. This means that these categories of travelers can enter, for any purpose, the territory of the Slovak Republic through the internal borders.
On the other hand, entry into Slovakia through the external border (a border which is not adjacent to a border of another Member State) remains subject to further restrictions and controls. These restrictions do not apply to citizens of the Member States of the European Union or to persons entering Slovakia from Ukraine.
According to the Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic, third-country nationals seeking to enter Slovakia through the external border, must fall into the categories exempt from the entry ban.
Among these categories are:
Please note that this list is not exhaustive, if you need more information on the categories of travelers exempt from the entry restrictions in Slovakia, you can contact our experts.
The Slovak authorities do not impose specific obligations in relation to Covid-19 on those who enter Slovakia from EU/Schengen countries. No entry restrictions apply to European citizens. They are no longer required to provide any proof of vaccination against Covid-19 or proof of recovery from this disease. Similarly, a negative test result is not an entry requirement.
On the contrary, for non-European citizens arriving from third countries, the certification attesting to the recovery from Covid-19 or proof of vaccination are prerequisites for being exempted from the entry ban.
The health regulations currently in force do not require a post-arrival test just as registration on the eHranica portal.
Effective from March 14, 2022, there are no lockdown measures in Slovakia and mobility within the Country is not restricted. In addition, hotels, shops, as well as public offices and facilities are open to the public.
A safe social distance of 2 meters is still advisable. Furthermore, it is mandatory to wear the FFP2 mask, or KN95 / N95 in hospitals and healthcare facilities. In addition, participants in mass outdoor and indoor events have to wear masks.
