Vitajte v Amerike; Vitajte na novom mieste, prípadne Vitajte na novom pôsobisku; Vitajte


Explanation:
Wecome - Vitajte - is used when sombedy comes somwhere and somebody is waiting to him / her.
"Welcome to a new place" - it could have a meaning of welcome to somebody at new place, e.g. in new city, but it can be also new working place - new company. In that case we can use phrase: Vitajte na novom pôsobisku.

vitajte


Explanation:
Welcome to America = Vitajte v Amerike
It is necessary to use correct preposition. Welcome home = Vitaj doma (no preposition, "vitaj" is unformal) Welcome to ship= Vitajte na lodi ("na" instead "v")
