Type of Visas:
If you're applying for a Slovak visa from Jordan through the Embassy of Austria (since Slovakia is represented by Austria for visa processing in Jordan), you will need to choose the appropriate visa type based on your travel purpose. Here are the main types of visas you can apply for:
- Short-Stay Schengen Visa (Type C)
This visa allows you to stay in Slovakia (and other Schengen Area countries) for up to 90 days within a 180-day period for purposes such as:
- Tourism (vacation or leisure travel).
- Business (attending meetings, conferences, etc.).
- Family visits (visiting family members or friends).
- Cultural exchange (attending cultural events, exchanges, or festivals).
-
Medical treatment (if you plan to stay for medical care).
This visa is for short stays and is valid for travel within the entire Schengen Area.
- Long-Stay Visa (Type D)
If your stay in Slovakia will exceed 90 days, you must apply for a long-stay visa (Type D). This includes visas for:
- Studies (enrollment in a recognized educational institution).
- Work (employment in Slovakia).
-
Family reunification (joining family members in Slovakia).
This visa is required for anyone staying in Slovakia for more than 90 days.
- Transit Visa (Type A or B)
- Type A (Airport Transit): If you are passing through the airport in Slovakia but not entering the country, this visa allows you to stay in the airport transit area.
- Type B (Transit Visa): If you plan to travel by land or sea through Slovakia on your way to another country, this visa is valid for short stays.
- National Visa (for specific purposes)
- If your purpose is related to a specific national interest (e.g., research, internship, or other specialized programs), you may need a national visa for a specific purpose.

Important Notes:
• If you are applying for a Schengen Visa (Type C) and Slovakia is your main destination, you must apply through the Embassy of Austria as Slovenia and Austria represent Slovakia for visa applications in Jordan.
• Type D (long-stay) visas are typically processed based on specific circumstances, such as employment or studies in Slovakia.
