Slovakia is beginning to relax its travel restrictions. Slovak nationals, their family members, and residents of Slovakia may travel to Slovakia from anywhere, while anyone who has been allowed to enter another Schengen member state, and thus is already present in the Schengen zone, can enter Slovakia for any purpose of travel. Additionally, foreign travelers may now also enter the country if they are arriving from and have only been in a select "green list" of countries for the last 14 days. As of November 16, travelers who have spent the last 14 days in only the following countries/territories may enter Slovakia, without needing a COVID-19 test or quarantine: Australia, China, Finland, Iceland, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. The updated "green list" may be found here. Travelers arriving from countries outside of the green list and/or EU will have to comply with varying quarantine/testing protocols depending on where they are traveling from and have spent time within the last 14 days.

All travelers must complete the Public Health Passenger form at least 24 hours before departure to Slovakia. Passengers must register online before departure at https://korona.gov.sk/ehranica Travelers who have been physically present only in the above-mentioned "green list" countries for the prior 14 days are not subject to any restrictions or requirements when entering Slovakia. Travelers who have been in the EU but in countries not on the "green list" may avoid a quarantine by presenting at the border a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test that is less than 72 hours old and was taken outside of Slovakia.

Travelers are subject to a 14-day isolation either at their home or in a state quarantine facility if they need a place to quarantine. Travelers entering quarantine must register online at https://korona.gov.sk/en/ehranica/, the authorities will contact them no earlier than the 8th day of their self-isolation to arrange a free RT-PCR test for COVID-19. If travelers are self-isolating at a private residence, anyone living in the same household must also self-isolate. After the traveler receives a negative test result, they may end their self-isolation. Travelers from EU member states, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and the UK will be able to end isolation after 14 days if they have no symptoms. Travelers from other states will have to wait until they receive a negative PCR test result. Children under three years old must remain in home quarantine for 10 days, and all members of the household must be asymptomatic during this time.

Travelers transiting through Slovakia do not have to self isolate if they meet the following conditions: EU citizens and their family members traveling to other EU member state if their transit (including breaks for refueling) lasts no more than eight hours; people with permanent or temporary residence in EU member states who return to their home country if their transit (including breaks for refueling) lasts no more than eight hours; non-EU citizens if they travel to the EU member state where they have permanent or temporary residence if their transit (including breaks for refueling) lasts no more than eight hours.
