Before you leave Slovakia

• Report your departure — Slovak citizens moving abroad for good report the end of their permanent residence; foreign residents tell the foreign police they are leaving. Keep the confirmation.
• Your Slovak-registered vehicle — Deregister the car for export at the traffic inspectorate before it leaves, then register it in your new country.
• Health insurance and tax — Inform your health insurance company that you are moving abroad — this matters in Slovakia, where cover is tied to residence — and settle your tax position.
• Lease and utilities — Give notice as your lease requires and close energy, internet and phone accounts with final readings.

Exporting your belongings from Slovakia

To another EU country: if Slovakia and your destination are both in the EU, your belongings travel freely. There is no export declaration and no customs clearance.

To a country outside the EU: we file the export declaration in Slovakia on your behalf. What matters most is the import side: whether your belongings enter your new country free of duty depends on that country's rules. Each destination guide explains them.

Wherever you are going, prepare a detailed inventory of your belongings. It is required at destination for almost every move outside the EU, and it is the basis of your insurance.

Moves to non-EU countries require an export declaration, which we file before departure. Overseas containers usually travel via Hamburg, Bremerhaven or Koper.

How a move from Slovakia works

1. Free quote. Tell us your origin, destination in Slovakia and approximate volume. You receive an online estimate and a detailed quote within 24 hours.
2. Survey and planning. Your coordinator rechecks the volume, locks the transport mode and lists the customs rules you fall under on your way to Slovakia.
3. Packing and collection. We bring the packing materials to your home, inventory each piece and load everything on moving day.
4. Transport. Your belongings travel by the mode that fits your route to Slovakia: dedicated truck or shared load within Europe, sea container or air freight otherwise.
5. Customs clearance (where required). When your route crosses a customs border, we file both sides: the Slovakia export and the import at your new country (Slovak export declaration for non-EU destinations).
6. Delivery and set-up. Delivery to your new home, unpacking and furniture reassembly if included in your quote.

The same coordinator sees your move from Slovakia through, from your first email to the keys being handed over.

How your belongings travel — mode by mode

The times below are door to door and depend on the season, your exact addresses and, if the route needs it, customs clearance.

Door-to-door times are indicative and vary with the season, exact addresses and any clearance at destination.

How the price of your move from Slovakia is calculated

Like every international mover, we build your price from Slovakia from a few concrete factors:

• Volume — in cubic metres: it drives most of the price. Use our room-by-room calculator for an accurate figure.
• Distance and route — the actual door-to-door distance to Slovakia, not a bird-flight shortcut.
• Transport mode — groupage, your own truck, shared or full container, air for urgent small shipments.
• Services — packing, taking furniture apart and reassembling it, crating fragile pieces, storage, island delivery.
• Access — top-floor flats with no lift, narrow lanes, long carries, external hoists when the stairs will not do.
• Customs — clearance fees and port handling charges, where required by your route to Slovakia.
• Insurance — calculated as a percentage of the declared value of your belongings.

Typical volumes, as a guide:

European road moves get a starting price straight from the estimator; everything else — sea, air, customs — is quoted in writing within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions

No. Household goods move between EU countries without any declaration.

Should I tell my health insurer I am leaving?

Yes. In Slovakia, public health insurance depends on residence, so inform your insurer when you move abroad.

Can I take my car?

Yes. Deregister it for export first, then register it at destination after checking the import costs there.
