Key Points
- Slovakia announced that police appointment delays may result in delayed processing of residence permits
Overview
The government of Slovakia announced delays in appointments made with the foreign police, resulting in delayed processing and issuance of residence cards. According to the government, these delays result from shortages in plastic cards and efforts to transition aspects of the immigration process online.
These delays in processing and issuance of residence cards are expected to impact both new applicants and those seeking renewals. The shortage of plastic cards and the shift to an online system are part of broader efforts to modernize and improve the efficiency of Slovakia’s immigration procedures. During this transition period, applicants may experience extended wait times, so it is advisable to plan accordingly and submit applications as early as possible.
