Slovakia tax residency: the 183-day rule
You’re a Slovak tax resident if you have permanent residence or a home in Slovakia, or if you habitually stay there: at least 183 days in the calendar year, in one stay or several. Every day you begin in Slovakia counts. Staying only to study or for medical treatment doesn’t make you resident.

183 days or more in Slovakia in a calendar year, in one stay or several, make you resident. Every day you begin there counts.
Slovakia tax residency: 183 days in the calendar year
Slovakia’s Income Tax Act (§ 2(d)) gives you unlimited tax liability — you’re resident — if you have permanent residence or a home in Slovakia, or if you habitually stay there: at least 183 days in the calendar year, continuously or in several periods. Every day you begin there counts.

Other ways to be resident, and the exceptions
- Permanent residence (trvalý pobyt) registered in Slovakia.
- A home (bydlisko): accommodation that isn’t only for occasional stays, where your personal and economic ties show you mean to stay for good.
- Study or medical treatment: habitually there only for these, you’re taxed as a non-resident.
- A tax treaty that makes you resident of the other country makes you a non-resident in Slovakia.
Worked example
Arriving on 1 January with no days yet this year, you can stay until 1 July — your 182nd day. On 2 July you’d reach 183 and be resident for the year.
Slovenia counts more than 183 days in the year, and a registered address: see Slovenia tax residency. Other countries, side by side: 183-day rule by country.
How FlySee counts it
FlySee has no Slovakia tracker built in; a tax tracker of your own counts the 183 days: Slovakia, fewer than 183 days, the calendar year, any part of a day — the way the Act counts every day begun.
