Slovakia

A landlocked country in Central/Eastern Europe, Slovakia is bordered by Poland and the Czech Republic in the north, Ukraine to the east, Hungary to the south, and Austria to the west. Its population of 5.4 million people speak Slovak; the country’s only official language.


A relatively new country often confused with Slovenia, Slovakia gained its independence from the former Czechoslovakia in 1993. Today, its capital of Bratislava-just hours from both Vienna and Prague-has emerged as a destination in its own right as a less touristy alternative to its more famous neighbors. Situated on the banks of the Danube, the capital offers a lively nightlife scene as well as historic architecture, including Bratislava Castle, which overlooks the river and provides magnificent views of the city. Visitors to Bratislava can indulge in Slovakian cuisine; hearty dishes of cheese and potato dumplings. 

Outside the capital, visitors can tour one of the most beautiful towns in Europe: Vlkolinec, which contains the continent’s largest cluster of traditional central European log cabins and is one of Slovakia’s seven UNESCO Heritage Sites. For more contemporary offerings, the town Medzilaborce offers the world’s second largest collection of paintings by Andy Warhol, whose parents immigrated from Slovakia to USA. A mountainous country of waterfalls and lakes, visitors can hike Tatras mountain range, which form a natural barrier between Slovakia and Poland, and offers picturesque trails along pristine pastures. 

In the winter, sample Slovakia’s rapidly developing skiing industry, which offers an uncrowded, inexpensive alternative to pricier slopes in neighboring Austria.

UK’s Global Talent Visa Saw Only 3 Applicants in 2 Years

 In 2021, former Home Secretary Priti Patel highlighted that recipients of prestigious awards had achieved the highest point in their careers and had much to offer to the United Kingdom. She emphasized that these significant changes would also grant them the freedom to work in the UK's leading fields such as arts, music, sciences, and film industries as part of the nation's post-pandemic recovery.  At that time, Patel stated that this aligned with the new point-based immigration system's goal of attracting the most talented individuals based on their skills and expertise, rather than their country of origin.  According to a previous report from Research Professional News, the visa scheme had received only three applications over two years, with two approvals in 2022 and just one this year. A spokesperson from the Home Office explained that due to the exclusivity of the prizes that qualify under the "prestigious prize" pathway of the Global Talent route, they did n...
