The Foreign Police Department of the Bratislava Police Force will move to a new address - Račianska 62, 831 02 Bratislava (Nové Mesto). The change is related to the construction of a new national hospital at the current location in Vajnory. For foreigners living and working in Slovakia, as well as for companies employing foreign workers, this is important practical information that needs to be taken into account when planning visits to this office.
Why is the relocation happening?
The reason for the move is a large-scale investment project to build a new national hospital, which is to be built on land in Bratislava's Vajnory - the place where the Aliens Police Department was previously located. The state decided to free up this space for medical infrastructure, and the Aliens Police received new, more modern premises in the Nové Mesto district of the city.
The move is not just a technical change of address - the new workplace also brings better accessibility by public transport, more parking spaces and modernized premises, which should shorten waiting times and improve comfort during processing.
Key details of the move
- Current address: Regrútska 4, 831 07 Bratislava – Vajnory
- New address: Račianska 62, 831 02 Bratislava – New Town
- Relocation date: From May 18, 2026 (inclusive) – all services will be available exclusively at the new address

What does this mean for foreigners?
For foreigners residing or in the process of obtaining a residence permit in Slovakia, a change of address is essential. All personal visits – submitting residence applications, biometric fingerprinting, receiving documents or other actions – will take place exclusively at the new address on Račianská Street from May 18, 2026.
The new workplace is significantly more accessible from different parts of Bratislava. The city's public transport provides a direct connection via lines 205 and 212, which will be especially appreciated by those who come without their own car. The extended office hours (from 7:30 to 16:00) will also allow a visit for those who have to combine a meeting with work obligations.
What does this mean for businesses?
Employers who employ foreigners or assist them with their residency matters should update their internal information and processes. In particular, HR departments and relocation teams should:
- Update the address of the Aliens Police in all internal guidelines and onboarding materials.
- Inform foreign employees about the change of address and new public transport connection.
- Reconsider the schedules of visits by the Aliens Police in light of the new office hours.
- Ensure that all postal correspondence addressed to the Aliens Police is sent to the new address from May 18th.
Practical step-by-step recommendations
- Until May 17, 2026: All visits should be made at the original address - Regrútska 4, Vajnory.
- From May 18, 2026: Go exclusively to Račianska 62, Nové Mesto.
- Orders: Book appointments online at integrovanysystem.gov.sk – the online reservation system remains in operation.
