Student Visa to Slovakia
If studying abroad lasts more than 90 days, the student will need a permit. A special document is issued for the Slovak Republic: student visa to Slovakia. This is a Schengen visa, which is valid on the territory of another 27 countries of the Schengen area, allowing its holder to travel freely throughout Europe.
The manager of the International Union of Youth will help to choose the best option for each applicant, taking into account his situation. We will also take care of all documents and organizational issues during the filing process.
Important to remember:
The application is submitted to the Consular Section of the Slovak Embassy, and from there it will be forwarded to the regional branch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where the experts will make a decision.
- Documents are submitted in Slovak, and all foreign certificates must be translated into it and certified by a notary.
- It is necessary to submit the originals documents but if this is not possible, the copies are also certified by a Slovak notary.
- If more than 180 days have passed since the document was issued, it will not be accepted.
- A passport is required, the validity of which is at least 90 days longer than the validity period of the requested visa.
You also need to pay a consular fee, the amount of which depends on your country of residence – contact us for more information.
