RHD = not possible, or very difficult / expensive. Importing LHD cars is bad enough, plus they calculate the fees based on the BHP of the car, meaning yours will be expensive :) However, I have just seen that you're from Lithuania, so the ... Read More

Hi folks, My name is Sue. I am Brazilian married to polish citizen. I have moved recently to Slovakia with my husband. Would ye advise on how to apply for the residency/what documents I will need for that? Cheers, Sue
Hi Sue, as usual, it's a minefield with this stuff. I really recommend looking on the official Foreigner's police website or visiting the office to ask them exactly what you need. Make sure you take somebody who can translate for you, ... Read More

Hi Raqueram. It's difficult to tell you what chance you have to get a job. Will you move to Zilina? You've got a better chance there than most other places. Probably Bratislava has the highest chance of finding a job. It all depends on ... Read More

Ok, I will be meeting my accountant and a lawyer later today, so I will ask if they have any experience with this. I'll take a guess that they haven't, as it's not typical for this small town to have any foreigners, let alone any who are ... Read More
