Since the Foreign Police (Slovakia’s main immigration agency) is now issuing approval notifications via SMS and via the employer’s electronic mailbox, Fragomen has received reports of interim technical issues with the new system. Specifically, there have been reports where applicants only receive an SMS message with summary approval information and their employer does not receive the full approval notice via the electronic “e-schranka” portal. As a result, employers and foreign nationals are required to seek additional confirmation from Slovak authorities before being able to proceed to the next steps of the immigration process, causing processing delays. Fragomen is monitoring the situation and will report on further developments.
