02 · Cost of living

What life costs in Slovakia

Slovakia is cheaper than Western Europe. Your biggest costs are accommodation and food. Shared housing arranged with the employer keeps costs low, and many hotels provide meals during shifts.

The exact accommodation cost is written in your job offer, so you can plan how much you can send home.

03 · Housing

A place to live from day one

We help you arrange accommodation before you arrive, usually shared flats or employer housing close to your workplace. You will know the address and cost before you fly.

04 · Health & insurance

You are covered as an employee

As an employee you have public health insurance and social insurance, paid through your salary. You choose a health insurer (for example VšZP, Dôvera or Union) and get an insurance card.

05 · Language & community

English at work, Filipino friends after

Many workplaces use English, and basic Slovak helps in everyday life. We support language learning. You will also meet a growing Filipino community: church groups, sports and our own basketball tournament in Bratislava.
