The Slovakia tourist visa is for Kenyans visiting Slovakia for the purpose of recreation, relaxation and sightseeing.
Slovakia is part of the Schengen agreement, so a Schengen visa is needed to travel to the country.
The tourist visa is of two types:
Single entry visa - allows a single entry into Slovakia.
Multiple entry visa - permits multiple entries into the country.
Your passport and copies of your previous visas – valid for at least 3 months beyond return date – are needed.
The photograph used for the visa application must be passport-size (35 mm x 40 mm), recent and taken against a light background.
A confirmation of medical insurance covering a minimum of 30,000 euros within Slovakia and the entire Schengen area is needed.
Kenyans planning to visit their friends and relatives in Slovakia will also need a tourist visa. If you are going to be staying with your friend or relative, you are required to provide their address and identity.
If you are not visiting friends or relatives, you are required to provide a proof of accommodation. For example, a confirmed hotel reservation.
Travelers on a tourist visa cannot take up a course of study in one of the schools in Slovakia. A student visa is required to legally study in Slovakia.
Visa applicants that are employed are required to present the following documents during the application:
An employment contract
Current bank statement of the latest 6 months.
No-objection letter from employer.
Income Tax Return (ITR) form or Certificate of Income Tax deducted from the source of salary.
Married applicants will need to present a copy of their marriage certificate, or a spouse’s death certificate, if applicable.
Retired persons should possess a pension statement or documents showing other financial support from the last 6 months.
Here are some rules and customs to be followed in Slovakia:
