Slovakia visa for Azerbaijani 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 Azerbaijan (Baku) received 1,570 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,255. The refusal rate was 19.0%. The refusal rate rose by 17.9 points from 1.1% in 2024, a sharp increase. Applications rose by 256% compared with 2024 (441).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 9.8% of the applications lodged in Azerbaijan that year, from 3.0% at the consulates of Greece to 26.1% at those of Bulgaria. Slovakia’s consulates worldwide refused 9.6%. Slovakia was the 12th most applied-for Schengen state in Azerbaijan.

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 Azerbaijan, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

Before travelling from Azerbaijan to Slovakia, it helps to know the official travel advice: 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). The advice is aimed at each government’s own nationals.

How long Azerbaijani citizens can stay in Slovakia

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

How Azerbaijani citizens apply

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