Slovakia visa for Armenian citizens

For the tourist visa, Slovakia’s official sources give a standard fee of €90. Processing time, as Slovakia states it: 15 calendar days from the day the application is accepted; up to 45 days if more checks are needed. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area.

In 2025, Slovakia’s embassy and consulates in Armenia (Yerevan) received 825 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 812. 1.2% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 0.9%. Applications rose by 21% compared with 2024 (682).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 10.9% of the applications lodged in Armenia that year, from 0.9% at the consulates of Romania to 21.9% at those of Greece. Slovakia’s consulates worldwide refused 9.6%. Slovakia was the 10th most applied-for Schengen state in Armenia.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Armenia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

Armenian citizens planning a trip to Slovakia can compare how foreign ministries rate it: the US State Department rates Slovakia at Level 1, exercise normal precautions (updated 11 February 2026), the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Slovakia (updated 28 August 2026) and the German Foreign Office has no travel warning for Slovakia (updated 13 October 2026).

How long Armenian citizens can stay in Slovakia

How long Armenian citizens may stay in Slovakia is set by the visa issued, and the visa type must match the purpose of the trip.

How Armenian citizens apply

Slovakia has no embassy or career consulate in Armenia. Armenian citizens apply through a mission of Slovakia accredited to Armenia from abroad, or through another Schengen state that represents Slovakia for visas; the official visa portal of Slovakia names the right place.
