What do I need to know before moving to Slovakia?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Slovakia, they said...

"Slovakia is a beautiful country with a rich culture and history. Expats should be aware that the official language is Slovak, although English is widely spoken in the larger cities. It is important to research the cost of living in Slovakia before moving, as prices can vary significantly depending on the city and region. Expats should also be aware that the healthcare system in Slovakia is generally good, but it is important to have private health insurance in case of any medical emergencies. Additionally, expats should be aware that the climate in Slovakia can be quite cold in the winter months, so it is important to bring appropriate clothing. Finally, expats should be aware that Slovakia is a member of the European Union, so they will need to obtain a visa before moving," remarked another expat who made the move to Slovakia.
