How to Get a Short Stay Visa for Slovakia

Slovakia Short Stay Visa

Slovakia Short Stay Visa

If you are traveling to Slovakia and planning to stay there for up to 90 days, you might need to get a Short Stay Visa (i.e. Schengen Visa Type C) for Slovakia.  In general, with the Schengen Visa, you are free to roam the Schengen Territory as you wish.  However, if you plan on spending most of your allotted 90 days in Slovakia, it is advised that you apply for the Schengen Visa at the Slovakia Embassy or Consulate.

The top reasons for getting the Short Stay Visa for Slovakia include tourism, business, personal visit with relatives, or transit.

(Go to my Slovakia visa page for information on other types of visas for Slovakia.)

I’ll break everything down for you below about how to go about getting the Slovakia Short Stay Visa.

  • Visa required for U.S. citizens before you go to Slovakia:  No
    • Slovakia is a party to the Schengen Agreement. As such, U.S. citizens for business or tourism are permitted to stay in the Schengen area for 90 days without a visa within a six-month period.
  • Visa required for non-U.S. citizens before you go to Slovakia:
1
Find your consulate
  • If you’re inside the U.S., click here to find the embassy or consulate that services your State.
2

3
Visa Fee
  • Official visa fees are listed here at the Slovak Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs.
  • Visa fees might vary depending on where you apply, so go to the website of the Embassy or Consulate you found in Step 1.
4
Submit your materials
  • Submission instructions will vary from consulate to consulate and embassy to embassy, so you will need to check the submission instructions at the website of the embassy or consulate you found in Step 1.
