Where to go
Ministerstvo vnútra SR
What to prepare
- · One accepted form of evidence: a valid passport with a Ukrainian exit stamp issued no more than 90 days before the application, or an electronic military-registration document from Reserv+
- · For a Reserv+ document: an official translation into Slovak or English
- · If the Reserv+ document is not certified by a Ukrainian diplomatic mission, be ready to show it live in the app for verification; a screenshot is not sufficient
What to do step by step
- 1
If you are 18–22, proof of military registration in Reserv+ may be sufficient
- 2
If you are 23–60, registration alone is not sufficient — the record must show exemption from military obligations or removal from military registration
- 3
If unsure, open the official source before booking the appointment
Important
If this condition applies to you, prepare the evidence and translation before the appointment so the application is not delayed.
