Foreign Police Bratislava: Appointment, Address & Complete Guide (2026)

Foreign Police Bratislava opening hours

Opening hours do not mean that every immigration procedure can be handled at any time. The available service depends on the procedure and your reservation category. Always check your appointment confirmation and current Ministry of Interior information before travelling.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes. For administrative procedures at the Bratislava Foreign Police, visitors should have an appointment made through the official Ministry of Interior online reservation system. Do not simply arrive at the office expecting your residence procedure to be processed without a reservation.

How to book a Foreign Police appointment

Appointments are booked through the official online reservation system of the Slovak Ministry of Interior.

During the booking process, applicants select the relevant procedure, enter the required information and choose an available Foreign Police department and appointment.

After a successful reservation, the applicant receives a PIN code. Save:

• the PIN;
• appointment date;
• appointment time;
• Foreign Police address.

The PIN may be required at the office to obtain the appropriate waiting ticket.

What if there are no available appointments?

If the reservation system shows no available appointment, this does not necessarily mean that the system is broken.

Appointment availability changes, and the booking horizon may depend on the procedure. Check the official system again for available dates and make sure you selected the correct procedure.

Choosing the correct appointment category

Selecting the wrong procedure can prevent the Foreign Police from handling your case even if you successfully booked an appointment.

Before booking, identify exactly what you need, for example:

• first residence application;
• residence renewal;
• EU citizen registration;
• residence document;
• biometrics;
• document collection;
• another specific immigration procedure.

Biometrics

The Bratislava Foreign Police reservation system includes a Biometrics category for relevant cases. This does not mean that every residence applicant must independently book a Biometrics appointment — follow the instructions applicable to your specific residence procedure or decision.

Information and Registry

The Information and Registry category may be relevant for administrative actions such as:

• collecting documents;
• submitting additional documents;
• collecting a verified invitation;
• obtaining information.

Verify the correct reservation category for your particular case before booking.

Can I visit another Foreign Police department?

Sometimes yes.

The Foreign Police department you can use depends on the procedure.

For some procedures, applicants have more flexibility in choosing a Foreign Police department. Other procedures must be handled by the department competent for the applicant's place of residence.

For example, the rules may differ between a first temporary residence application and the renewal of an existing residence. Check the current rules for your specific procedure before booking.

What should you bring?

Bring your passport or relevant identity document, your appointment/PIN information and all documents required for your specific procedure.

Residence applications may require additional supporting documents depending on your nationality and purpose of residence.

Do not rely on a generic document checklist without verifying the requirements for your particular case.

Foreign Police administrative fees

Some Foreign Police procedures involve official government administrative fees. The amount depends on the procedure and exemptions may apply.

Government administrative fees are separate from any MoveEasy Slovakia assistance fee.

eKolok is commonly used for paying Slovak administrative fees. Verify the current payment method and amount applicable to your procedure before your appointment.

Common Foreign Police mistakes

• Booking the wrong procedure — the office may not be able to handle your case.
• Going to the wrong Foreign Police department for your procedure.
• Arriving without the required reservation.
• Forgetting appointment or PIN information.
• Relying on outdated document requirements found online.
• Arriving with incomplete residence documents.
• Assuming every Foreign Police procedure follows the same rules.
