Slovakia visa for Thai 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 Thailand, with its embassy in Bangkok.

In 2025, Slovakia’s embassy and consulates in Thailand (Bangkok) received 220 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 196. 10.5% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 7.3%: the rate rose by 3.2 points. The number of applications was almost unchanged (221 in 2024).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 5.9% of the applications lodged in Thailand that year, from 2.0% at the consulates of Romania to 28.7% at those of Poland. Slovakia’s consulates worldwide refused 9.6%. Slovakia was the 20th most applied-for Schengen state in Thailand.

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

Thai 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).
