Slovakia Visa

Once your documents are complete, we walk you through booking your appointment at VFS Global for biometrics capture and file submission. You attend on the day; we accompany you in every step.

• Tourist Visa (Type C)

  For leisure travel and sightseeing in Slovakia for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.

• Family & Friends Visit Visa

  For visiting relatives or friends with a notarised invitation from the Slovak host.

• Business Visa

  For attending meetings and conferences with an official invitation from the Slovak business host.

• Cultural & Sports Visa

  For taking part in cultural, sporting, scientific, or religious events.

• Medical Visa (Short-stay visa)

  Issued for the purpose of receiving treatment at Slovak hospitals. Classified as a short-stay visa, with stays not exceeding 90 days. Requires detailed medical reports plus an official invitation or booking confirmation from the relevant hospital.

1. Choose the right Slovak visa type

   Start by identifying the visa category that matches your purpose of travel — tourism, family visit, business, medical, or study. Slovakia is in the Schengen Area, and a short-stay visa allows up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Slovakia has an honorary consulate in Amman, but visa applications are lodged at the VFS Global visa centre in Amman.

2. Create an account and complete the application

   Register with VFS Global for Slovakia visas in Jordan and complete the Schengen visa application form with Slovakia as the main destination. Make sure your name, passport details, and travel dates exactly match your supporting documents — formal errors are a leading cause of refusal.

3. Prepare the supporting documents

   Standard Schengen documents apply for Slovakia:
   - Passport valid for at least 3 months beyond your departure date, issued within the last 10 years, with two blank pages.
   - Jordanian ID card, or valid Jordanian residency permit if you are a foreign resident.
   - Stamped bank statements covering the last 3 months.
   - Employment letter and a recent salary certificate.
   - Round-trip flight reservation and hotel bookings covering every night of your stay in Slovakia.
   - Schengen travel insurance with minimum coverage of EUR 30,000.
   - Recent passport-sized photo meeting Schengen specifications.

4. Book and attend your appointment at VFS Amman

   Book your appointment at the VFS Global visa centre in Amman, at least 15 days and at most 6 months before travel. Personal appearance is mandatory for biometrics, which are required from age 12. Pay the embassy fee (Schengen) and the VFS service fee at the centre.

5. Track processing

   The VFS centre forwards your file to the competent embassy for a decision. A short-stay decision is statutorily issued within 15 calendar days, and may be extended up to 45 days in additional cases. Track your application via the VFS account you created at booking.

6. Collect your passport and visa

   Once a decision is issued your passport is returned to the VFS centre where you applied. Collect it in person with your ID, or use the optional courier service. Before you travel, verify the visa data (name, number of entries, validity dates, residence type) against your passport, and keep copies of your bookings and insurance ready in case of border checks.

• What is a Schengen visa?

  A unified visa that allows entry to 29 European countries within the Schengen area on a single visa, with a stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

• How long is a Schengen visa valid?

  Usually granted short-term (up to 3 months) with single or multiple entries. In some cases it can be issued for longer — up to 5 years.

• Can I travel between Schengen countries on a single visa?

  Yes, a Schengen visa allows entry to and free travel between all 27 Schengen countries with no extra visa required.

• What is the most common reason for refusal?

  Weak ties to Jordan, failing to convince the embassy you will return, weak financial standing, or incomplete documents. We help you strengthen your file before you submit.

• Does the application require a personal interview?

  Usually not — most applications are decided on the documents. In special cases the embassy may request an interview.
