A Schengen type C visa is required for travel to Slovakia. At the Slovak embassy in Baku appointments are given only by email and documents are submitted directly to the embassy; there is no separate visa centre.

The only amount payable is the 35-euro consular fee. In the appointment request your passport details, travel dates and contact details must be given correctly, or the request will not be accepted.

Bratislava, the High Tatras and the thermal spas are the main destinations. The trip is often combined with Austria or Czechia. Viza.az helps with document preparation and with drawing up the appointment request.

  • Proof of accommodation A hotel booking or a formal invitation from your host, covering every night of the trip.

Business owners submit a copy of the tax registration, a turnover certificate from the tax office and a register extract instead; students submit a letter from their institution.
  • Proof of marital status Marriage certificate, and birth certificates for children under 18. If a child travels with one parent, the other's notarised consent is required.

  • Sponsor's documents If someone else is funding the trip: the sponsor's letter, proof of income and evidence of the relationship. Required only in that case.
  • Submitting documents in person The application goes straight to the embassy, so there is no extra visa centre fee.

Visa to Slovakia: frequently asked questions

The Slovak embassy in Baku gives appointments only by email. The request must state your first name and surname, date of birth, travel dates, passport number and contact details.

A scan of the passport data page, a hotel booking or invitation, a flight booking, travel insurance, a letter from your employer and a bank statement for the last 6 months. An incomplete request may go unanswered.

No. As there is no separate visa centre, only the 35-euro consular fee is paid.

The standard Schengen period is 15 calendar days. The main wait, though, comes at the appointment stage, so sending the request early matters.

A resort booking and insurance covering winter sports. On mountain routes standard travel insurance may not be enough.

Yes, both are in the Schengen zone. Bratislava and Vienna are very close to each other; under the main destination rule, apply to the country where you will spend more nights.

Documents in Azerbaijani must be officially translated into English or Slovak. Notarisation of the translation may be required.

We prepare the appointment request in the correct format, collect the document file and follow the process. As incomplete requests go unanswered, we pay particular attention to this stage.
