Schengen area rules apply
Slovakia is part of the Schengen zone. Your 90-day visa-free stay counts across all 27 Schengen countries combined. Use the Schengen calculator to track your days.
Overstaying is serious
Even one day over the 90-day limit can trigger a fine or entry ban. Set a reminder on your phone to leave before day 90.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the airport in Slovakia
You'll land at Bratislava Airport (BTS) or Košice Airport (KSC). Follow signs to 'Passport Control' — it's usually a short walk from the gate.
2
Queue at the non-EU passport line
Look for signs saying 'All Passports' or 'Non-EU/EEA/Swiss'. The queue moves quickly, but can be busy during summer or holidays.
3
Present your passport and supporting documents
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask: purpose of visit, length of stay, where you're staying, and your return ticket. Answer clearly and honestly.
4
Get your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the entry date. Check the stamp before walking away — make sure the date is correct. You're now in the Schengen area.
