Frequantly asked questions and answers:
1. Do I need another document in addition to a valid passport / ID card?
If you plan to drive abroad and you are not in an EU country, don't forget your international driving license. More information about this type of driver's license can be found on the website of the Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic.
You will certainly find an extract from the criminal record or certificates and documents proving education.
2. I have all permits. Is there anything else I should think about?
We recommend that you study the laws of the country you are moving to, and if you are going to an exotic state, be sure to find out about vaccination options.
3. Can I be insured in two EU countries at the same time?
No, it is only possible to be insured in 1 country of the European Union.
