Information about residence in the territory of the Slovak Republic in connection with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland leaving the European Union (Brexit)

Last Updated: 21 March 2019

If you, as a United Kingdom national, and your family members have registered residence in the territory of the Slovak Republic before the date of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, you will automatically obtain a permanent residence for five years in the interest of the Slovak Republic or a long-term residence. This means that you do not have to apply for a permanent residence.

If you have been issued a Residence Card of EU Citizen by the date of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, this residence card will remain valid until December 31, 2020.  You need to apply for a new residence card before this date.

After the date of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, you must apply for a temporary residence or a permanent residence as a third country national.

For more information please visit the website of the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic.
