What are the Drone Laws in Slovakia?

To fly as a hobbyist, everything is pretty much cut in your favor. No license is required, just an understanding that you know what you are doing. If your drone weighs over 7 Kg, this does not apply. If you intend to fly close or inside a restricted area, you might want to seek authorization.

Drones weighing over 20 Kg should be:

Registered online
Have insurance coverage
Flight licenses

No flying near airports

Do not interfere with a manned aircraft
Height limit of 400ft

Operators can only fly drones in uncontrolled airspace (Class G) up to 400 ft
1km radius
Drones should have a lighting system
Keep off urban centers
Don't fly over crowds

Do not fly over any person or moving vehicle
Camera = Commercial

Any drone with a camera and capable of recording is considered a commercial drone. As a commercial category, there is paperwork and other conditions you must adhere to.

Use of drones for commercial use in Slovakia

As a commercially operating pilot, you must have registered your drone, created an operating manual, got permission from the Department of Defense (600 Euros annually), Slovak license, and register for 350 euro annual insurance cover.
After the flight, have your videos reviewed by the Topographic Institute.

How does one register a drone in Slovakia?

Begin by entering your details of which are, full names, contact details, drone serial numbers, purchase invoices, photos, etc.

Normally this application is tailored for Slovaks and Slovak residents, however, there seems to be a caveat that allows approval when requested in special circumstances. To be on the safe side, make an inquiry to the contact information I mentioned above.

To get a drone license in Slovakia, undergo a theoretical and practical test to gauge your ability to handle the equipment safely.
