Foreigner reports prepared without a single retype
As soon as a guest completes the check-in form, Best Guest automatically processes the foreigner report and prepares it for manual submission via portal.minv.sk — no retyping.
How It Works
From the guest filling in the form to paperwork ready to submit.
Guest fills in the form
The check-in form collects every field the Foreign Police require for foreign guests.
Data is verified
Best Guest checks the completeness and format of the data and shows what is missing before you download the file.
The report is prepared for submission
The data is written into an XML file in the format the Ministry of Interior publishes for importing into its "Zápis do knihy ubytovaných" e-service on portal.minv.sk.
The report is ready to download
You download the XML file from the reservation or for a chosen period, then upload, sign and send it in the e-service on portal.minv.sk within the legal deadline.
What's Included
Paperwork prepared for manual submission:
- Manual review of the data before submission
- Automatically generated XML file for import into the Ministry of Interior e-service
- XML in the import format the Ministry of Interior publishes for portal.minv.sk
- Download the XML file again from the reservation at any time

Learn moreFrequently Asked Questions
What is the Foreign Police?
The Foreign Police is the unit of the Slovak Police Force to which the stay of foreign guests is reported. Hosts must report every guest who is not a Slovak citizen, EU citizens included, within 5 days of check-in — electronically via portal.minv.sk, in person or by post.
Does Best Guest prepare the report automatically?
Yes — as soon as a guest completes the online check-in form, Best Guest verifies the data and prepares an XML file from it for import into the Ministry of Interior e-service; the guest register is available as a PDF. You then upload, sign and send the report yourself via portal.minv.sk within the legal deadline — with no manual retyping.
What happens if a report is late or missing?
Breaching the reporting duty under §113 of Act No. 404/2011 Coll. is an administrative offence (správny delikt), for which the police unit imposes a fine of up to €3,300 (§119). Best Guest prepares the paperwork as soon as the check-in form is completed, so all that's left is submitting the report via portal.minv.sk within the legal deadline.
Does Best Guest also report Slovak guests?
No — the obligation to report to the Foreign Police applies only to foreign guests. Best Guest still records Slovak guests in the guest register, as the law requires.
