1.Step: Select your Country

Slovakia is a country within the Schengen Area, and as such adopts the same visa processes as the union. Students from countries in the EU/EEA do not need a visa to come into the country for study purposes for less than 90 days. For study periods longer than 90 days, foreign students must apply for a temporary residence visa that grants them student status in the Slovak Republic.

A direct application for a visa must be made and submitted personally at the nearest Slovakian Consulate to the applicant. RocApply can help you to manage your visa application process and ensure that you successfully meet all the requirements. Read the instructions below.
