Slovaks must inform the state if they want to leave the country

Slovak citizens and residents who want to leave the country for more than 90 days will have inform the state, on pain of punishment, after governing MPs passed an amendment to the Act on Reporting Citizens’ Residencies on last Thursday, local media reported. As of July 1, Slovak citizens or foreign citizens resident in Slovakia will be obliged, by law, to report to the relevant state authority in charge of permanent residency, prior to their departure, any absence of more than 90 days. Oppositions say the law interferes with people’s right to free movement and privacy.
