Fees for a Slovakia visa application
Slovakia's national visa and residence-permit administrative fees are set as state charges that vary by the purpose of the application.
Important
Slovakia charges separate administrative (state) fees for the national (Type D) visa, for the temporary-residence application decided by the Foreign Police, and for producing the physical residence card. The amounts depend on the purpose of the application and whether it is filed at a Slovak embassy abroad or at a Foreign Police office inside Slovakia.
Because Slovakia's official fee schedule pages could not be rendered directly by an automated fetch, the specific amounts below are drawn from official-source summaries and should be confirmed against the current fee tariff on mzv.sk or minv.sk before you pay, as state fees are updated periodically.
National (Type D) visa fees
- A reduced fee applies when the national visa is issued only to let you travel in to collect a residence permit already granted in Slovakia
- A separate fee applies when the national visa is granted in connection with a residence-permit application
- Fee waivers apply in some cases, e.g. family members of EU/EEA nationals exercising free movement
Residence-permit and residence-card fees
- An administrative fee is charged for the temporary-residence application itself, varying by purpose
- A further administrative fee is charged for issuing and delivering the physical residence card, with a higher fee for expedited production
