No visa on arrival or e-visa
Myanmar passport holders cannot get a visa at the airport or online. You must apply at a Slovak embassy or consulate before you travel. Plan ahead — processing can take weeks.
Apply at the right embassy
Since there is no Slovak embassy in Myanmar, you will likely need to apply at the Slovak Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand, or through a visa application centre that handles Slovak visas. Check the Slovak Ministry of Foreign Affairs website for the latest procedures.

Frequently asked questions
If you are transiting through a Slovak airport and staying in the international transit area, you generally do not need a visa. However, if you need to enter the Schengen area (e.g., to change airports or stay overnight), you will need a Schengen visa.
Processing usually takes 15 calendar days, but can be extended to 30 days or more if additional documents are needed. Apply at least 4–6 weeks before your trip.
The standard Schengen visa fee is €80 for adults. Children aged 6–12 pay €40. Some applicants (e.g., students, researchers) may be exempt. Fees are paid at the time of application and are non-refundable.
No, the Schengen visa is not extendable for tourism. You must leave before it expires. Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, or a ban from the Schengen area.
There is no Slovak embassy in Myanmar. You will need to apply at the Slovak embassy in a neighbouring country, such as the Slovak Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand. Alternatively, you can apply through a visa application centre that handles Slovak visas.
You will receive a formal rejection letter explaining the reason. Common reasons include insufficient funds, unclear travel plans, or weak ties to your home country. You can appeal the decision within 15 days, or reapply with stronger documentation.
Yes, Slovak border police may ask to see proof that you can support yourself during your stay. Bank statements, credit cards, or cash are acceptable. Having at least €50–€100 per day is recommended.
