Foreign Police Registration Support in Košice
What You Need to Know
Moving to Košice? You must register your address with the Foreign Police within 3 working days of move-in. It's legally required.
The problem: Most landlords refuse to rent to foreigners because they don't want to deal with the paperwork.
Move Me In solves this. We only show you apartments where the landlord is verified and registration-ready.
Why Registration is Difficult
Landlords often refuse because they must provide:
- Property ownership documents
- Properly formatted Slovak lease agreement
- Personal identification
- Their time at the Foreign Police office
Many just say "no foreigners" instead.
The process is complicated:
- All forms are in Slovak
- Foreign Police staff rarely speak English
- One missing document = rejection and starting over
- Missing the 3-day deadline results in fines

⚠️ Trusting "we'll handle it later" - Many landlords avoid registration
