A Slovakia visa for UAE residents is a Schengen visa filed through VFS Global. We prepare your file, book your slot and check each paper, so you only attend for fingerprints. VFS lists a visa fee of AED 325 per application plus a service charge of AED 73.12, with 15 to 30 calendar days of processing.

The facilitation rate applies to certain passports only, for example non-biometric ones for Montenegro, Macedonia and Serbia. We found no Dubai agency price range for Slovakia.
Categories on the VFS page
Tourism, business, medical, visiting family or friends, conference, sports, study or research, and the EU or Slovak spouse visa. Each has its own checklist, so the first job is picking the right one. Our Schengen visa from Dubai page covers the shared Schengen rules, and we do not repeat them here.
Papers and photos
- Travel insurance, mandatory for all Schengen countries
- Two photos of 3 by 3.5 cm, not older than 6 months
- Face covering 70 to 80 percent of the photo, white background, clear eyes
- No glue or staples on the photos
- The category checklist and the signed application form
Passports Slovakia does not accept
VFS lists Syrian passports without signatures and Jordanian T series passports as not recognised. It also says Slovakia does not recognise Somali passports, but recognises those issued in Mogadishu or by a Somali diplomatic or consular authority since . The page states both lines, so check your passport with us before booking.
Timing
Processing is 15 calendar days at the least and up to 30 in individual cases, counted from submission. VFS says it cannot guarantee passport return by a travel date. Do not book a non-refundable ticket before the visa is in your hand. For slots, read Schengen visa appointment Dubai.
A Slovak embassy sits in Abu Dhabi. We could not open its site, so we have no appointment rules from it. VFS is the route the visa page gives.
How it works with us
Send your passport page, your travel dates and your residence details. Our adviser names the visa category, lists what is missing and quotes one total price. After you agree, we book your VFS slot, check each document against the Slovakia checklist and tell you what to carry. You attend for biometrics, and we follow the file until the passport is back. DubaiVisaDesk.com is a private visa service, so Slovakia decides.
If the visa is refused, Slovakia and VFS keep their fees. Before payment, your adviser writes down whether any of our own charge would be returned.
