GENERAL INFORMATION ON SLOVAKIA - for guidance only!
Crime
There is a high incidence of petty theft. Pickpockets operate around the main tourist areas, and foreigners are easily identified and targeted. Cameras, mobile phones and small electrical goods (computers, games etc) are as attractive as cash and credit cards: don't leave them in your car. You should take sensible precautions against bag snatching and mugging. Do not leave valuables unattended.
In December 2004, a Bratislava restaurant was badly damaged by a bomb blast in which 3 Slovak nationals were injured. Local police attribute the bombing to warring mafia factions. The restaurant is in an area not normally visited by British tourists. In a second incident in December 2004, a plastic bag containing an explosive device (which did not go off) was found in the Slavin residential area of Bratislava, about 200 metres from the villa of the Slovak President. The villa is located at least 5 kms from the City Centre. Local authorities are dealing with the incident as criminal, not terrorist related.
Road Safety
Make sure that you have valid motor insurance for your car. Right-hand drive cars can not be registered in Slovakia, which makes it very difficult to obtain insurance for those who intend to settle or remain in Slovakia to work.
You can drive on a UK driving licence for up to 6 months.
Although reasonably good, many main roads have only a single carriageway in each direction making overtaking difficult. Road markings are difficult to see in poor weather.
The standard of driving is not high and it is aggressive, with drivers often going too fast (especially in bad weather), pushing into dangerously small gaps, tailgating and overtaking with little regard for other road users. Drive defensively and allow yourself more "thinking time". Specifically, beware of oncoming cars overtaking on your side of the road (particularly on bends and hills). Older low-powered cars and trucks travel very slowly; be careful not to overestimate the speed.
In winter, equip your car for severe driving conditions.
LOCAL LAWS AND CUSTOMS
While in Slovakia, you will be subject to its laws and regulations. All those who violate Slovak laws, even unknowingly, may be arrested and expelled or imprisoned. Some important rules include: You must carry your passport with you at all times as identification - keep it safe, e.g. in a zipped up pocket or secure bag, and keep the details separately in case you do lose it. Remember to enter next of kin details into the back of your passport. If you plan to stay in Slovakia on a long-term basis, i.e. to work or live, you must register with the Police within three days of arrival. You will need your passport and proof of accommodation. Taking photographs of anything that could be perceived as a military establishment or somehow of security interest, may result in problems with the authorities. Don’t drink and drive. Slovakia has a policy of zero tolerance for drinking and driving. The penalties are severe and the police regularly carry out random breath checks. You will be prosecuted if any trace of alcohol is found in your system. There is no permitted level of alcohol. Do not get involved with drugs in any way. The penalties for smuggling, possession and use of drugs are severe.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
A passport with at least six-month validity remaining is required for entry to Slovakia. British nationals do not require a visa to visit Slovakia. For further information please check the website of the British Embassy, Bratislava: http://www.britishembassy.sk/consular/default.htm.
HEALTH
You should take with you a completed E111 form, which should be completed before you leave the United Kingdom (see UK Department of Health leaflet “Health Advice for Travellers” Tel: 0800 555 7777). This is available free of charge from most United Kingdom post offices and entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Slovak nationals. However an E111 does not cover all medical fees, or medical repatriation, or on-going medical treatment of a non-urgent nature. We therefore recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance.
Visitors to forested areas during the summer months should seek advice about immunisation against tick borne encephalitis.
For further information on health, check the Department of Health’s website at: www.dh.gov.uk.
GENERAL
Make sure you bring enough money and keep it safe. Travellers' cheques are the safest way to carry money but make sure that you buy them from an organisation with agents in Slovakia. Change cash and travellers' cheques at proper banks or bureaux de change: kiosks, although legal, offer poor exchange rates and there is a risk of being robbed by thieves loitering nearby. Scottish bank notes cannot be exchanged in Slovakia.
Apart from Vienna Airport there are very few places to buy Slovak Crowns before the border. ATM machines, which accept UK bank or credit cards (Cirrus, Maestro or Visa), are common. Shops – particularly in the main tourist areas – increasingly accept credit cards, but are sometimes reluctant to accept cards issued by foreign banks. If you intend to pay for something by card do check first that that the shop will accept your card and that it can be read (there are sometimes problems with "Maestro"). We also recommend that you check your statements carefully for transactions you did not make.
Make sure you know whom to contact to cancel stolen cards and/or how to obtain replacement travellers' cheques. If your money is lost or stolen you can arrange for friends or relatives in the UK to transfer money through Western Union to the Tatrabanka. Call Western Union in the UK 0800-833 833 for information.
The Consular Section of the Embassy can provide assistance in an emergency such as the arrest, serious accident, illness or the death of a British national. Consular Section can also assist if your passport is lost or stolen and can help you arrange to transfer of funds. For some services a fee is charged. Please see contact details below. |
