Indonesia to Slovakia visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay on a Schengen visa?

Up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the entire Schengen Area, including Slovakia. The total counts across all Schengen countries combined.

Q: Do I need ETIAS instead of a visa?

No. ETIAS is only for visa-exempt nationalities. Because Indonesians are visa-required, you continue to apply for a full Schengen visa and do not use ETIAS.

Q: How much does the visa cost?

The standard adult Schengen visa fee is EUR 80. Children aged 6-11 pay EUR 40 and children under 6 are exempt. Visa centres may add a service fee.

Q: What is the Indonesia visa cascade?

Since 23 July 2025, Indonesian nationals who have lawfully used a Schengen visa in the previous three years can be issued multi-entry visas valid for up to five years, subject to passport validity.

Q: Where do I apply for a Slovakia Schengen visa?

Apply at the Slovak Embassy in Jakarta or its authorised visa application centre, since Slovakia is your main destination. Book an appointment and apply at least 15 working days before travel.

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Slovakia for tourism. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel, and ETIAS does not apply to visa-required nationals like Indonesia. Slovakia is a member of the Schengen Area, and Indonesia is on the EU's visa-required list (Annex I), so Indonesian ordinary passport holders must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa before travelling for tourism. The visa permits stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across all 29 Schengen states. Applications are filed before travel through the Slovak Embassy in Jakarta or its authorised visa application centre, with biometrics, financial proof, accommodation, return travel and medical insurance (minimum EUR 30,000 cover) required. The standard adult visa fee is EUR 80. Since 23 July 2025 the EU applies a more favourable "visa cascade" regime to Indonesian nationals: after lawfully using one Schengen visa in the previous three years, applicants resident in Indonesia can be granted multi-entry visas valid up to five years (subject to passport validity). The forthcoming ETIAS travel authorisation does NOT apply to Indonesians because it is only for visa-exempt nationalities; Indonesians continue to need a full Schengen visa. Travellers should default to applying for a visa well in advance of departure.

by frequency

/01

Indonesia is on the EU Schengen visa-required list

Indonesia is listed in Annex I of the EU visa regulation, so ordinary passport holders must obtain a visa before entering any Schengen state, including Slovakia.

High

/02

Slovakia is a full Schengen member

Slovakia applies the common Schengen visa policy and the 90/180-day short-stay rule, with no separate national tourist waiver for Indonesians.

High

/03

ETIAS does not replace the visa

ETIAS only applies to visa-exempt nationalities; Indonesians remain visa-required and cannot use ETIAS in place of a Schengen visa.

Medium

/04

No visa-on-arrival in the Schengen Area

Schengen states do not issue short-stay tourist visas on arrival, so the visa must be obtained in advance in Indonesia.
