Removals to Slovakia

Your Seamless Move to the Heart of Europe

Slovakia is a country of dramatic mountain ranges, historic castles, and a rapidly growing modern economy. Whether you are relocating to the vibrant, Danube-side capital of Bratislava, the cultural hub of Košice, or the picturesque regions of the Tatra Mountains, moving to Slovakia in 2026 is an inspired choice.

However, an international relocation of over 1,000 miles requires precision. Moving from the UK to Slovakia involves crossing multiple borders and complying with strict post-Brexit customs regulations. At Pask’s Removals, we specialize in “Making Moving Easy.” We combine our UK expertise with a deep understanding of the Central European transit network to ensure your belongings arrive safely, legally, and on time.

Navigating Slovak Customs: 2026 Guidelines

Since the UK is a “third country” relative to the EU, your move to Slovakia must be handled with care to avoid the standard 23% Slovak VAT (increased from 20% in 2025). To import your household goods duty-free, you must qualify for Transfer of Residence (ToR) status.

Duty-Free Importation (ToR)

In 2026, the Slovak financial administration (Finančná správa) allows for the duty-free import of personal property provided you meet specific criteria:

  • 12-Month Residency: You must prove you have lived outside the EU (in the UK) for at least the last 12 consecutive months.

  • 6-Month Ownership: Your goods must have been owned and used by you for at least six months prior to the move.

  • Proof of Intent: You must provide proof of your new Slovak residency, such as a residence permit (Povolenie na pobyt), a signed employment contract, or a rental agreement valid for at least one year.

  • Inventory in Slovak: A detailed, valued inventory of your items must be provided and translated into the Slovak language.

Our move managers assist you in preparing all necessary paperwork, including the Power of Attorney required for us to represent you at the customs office, ensuring your shipment clears the border without delay.

Living in Slovakia: Tips for a Smooth Start

Registering Your Address Within three days of your arrival, you must register your address in Slovakia with the Foreign Police Department (Cudzinecká polícia). This is essential for your residency status and for the final release of your household goods from customs.

Digital ID and E-Government In 2026, Slovakia uses a digital ID system for most administrative tasks. Setting up your electronic mailbox (Slovensko.sk) will make dealing with local authorities much faster.

Quiet Hours Like many Central European countries, Slovakia respects “no-noise” times, usually between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM, and often on Sundays. We recommend scheduling your move-in during weekday business hours to stay on good terms with your new neighbors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a visa to move my furniture?

To import your items duty-free, you must show proof of a “transfer of residence.” While UK citizens can visit for 90 days, the tax-exempt status of your goods depends on your legal right to reside in Slovakia (long-term visa or residence permit).

Can you move my car to Slovakia?

Yes. However, vehicles are subject to registration and potential ecological taxes. If you’ve owned the car for over 6 months and are moving your primary residence, you may qualify for duty exemptions, but the vehicle must still pass a Slovak technical inspection (STK).

Is my move insured?

Absolutely. Every Pask’s move includes comprehensive Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance. For the long journey to Slovakia, we offer enhanced “All-Risk” coverage for total peace of mind.
