In addition to Bratislava and Košice, migrants can get comprehensive services and useful information for life in Slovakia in Banská Bystrica, Nitra, Prešov, Trenčín, Trnava and Žilina.

Thanks to MIC, they can benefit from free legal, social and employment counselling, learn the Slovak language, receive support in getting an education, improving their qualifications or retraining, get to know different aspects of life in Slovakia and benefit from support in their communities in Slovakia.
