Slovakia visa for Egyptian 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.

Slovakia has 1 mission in Egypt, with its embassy in Cairo.

In 2025, Slovakia’s embassy and consulates in Egypt (Cairo) received 491 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 371. 27.5% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 38.5%: the rate fell by 11.0 points, a clear improvement for applicants. Applications fell by 40% compared with 2024 (817).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 24.2% of the applications lodged in Egypt that year, from 4.4% at the consulates of Romania to 50.9% at those of Sweden. Slovakia’s consulates worldwide refused 9.6%. Slovakia was the 24th most applied-for Schengen state in Egypt.

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

Before travelling from Egypt 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).
