Košice
Same national § 113 stack as Bratislava — collect Košice's €3.50 daň (VZN 229 as amended) rather than a capital borough rate.
Local focus
- Hlásenie / kniha
- City tax €3.50
- Year-round apartments
Country context
Zákon 404/2011 § 113 requires ubytovatelia to verify every foreign guest's identity, update the kniha ubytovaných, and deliver a signed hlásenie pobytu to foreign police within 5 days (EU nationals included). Živnosť + vyhláška 277/2008 kategorizácia and municipal daň za ubytovanie sit on top (Bratislava €3.50 Staré Mesto / €3.00 elsewhere).
Remote arrival works when foreign-guest identity data and the personal signature on the hlásenie pobytu are captured before access — the 5-day police delivery and daň remittance are separate clocks afterward.
