The Slovak government has introduced a new financial assistance program for refugees from Ukraine. This program is available to individuals or families who meet certain criteria.

We will tell you who can apply for the funds and where to apply for support.

New financial aid for Ukrainians in Slovakia: how to apply

To participate in the program, you need to undergo a vulnerability assessment and an interview with representatives of the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees).

Each case will be considered individually.

Individuals and families who meet the criteria can make an appointment for an interview by visiting https://help.unhcr.org/slovakia/cash-assistance/ or by calling the Help Line.

After submitting the request, UNHCR will review it and send an SMS confirming the date and place of the interview. 

It is important to make sure that you have a valid Slovak phone number to receive this message.
