About the Slovak Embassy in Berlin
The Slovak Embassy in Berlin represents the Slovak Republic in Germany and supports diplomatic, political and economic relations between Slovakia and Germany. The two countries established diplomatic relations following the creation of the independent Slovak Republic in 1993 and today cooperate closely within the European Union, NATO and other European institutions.
Bilateral cooperation covers trade, investment, industry, transport, energy, education, science and culture. Germany is an important economic partner for Slovakia, while the strong presence of German companies in the Slovak economy creates extensive business and institutional links between the two countries.
The embassy also provides consular services for Slovak citizens living in Germany. Its consular district covers Berlin and most German federal states. Residents of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland are instead served by the Slovak Consulate General in Munich.
Visa Information
German citizens do not need a visa to travel to Slovakia. As citizens of the European Union, Germans benefit from EU freedom of movement and can enter Slovakia with a valid passport or national identity card.
German citizens who intend to live, work or study in Slovakia also benefit from EU free-movement rights. However, registration or residence formalities may apply depending on the duration and circumstances of the stay.
Slovak citizens likewise do not require a visa to travel to Germany. They may enter Germany with a valid Slovak passport or identity card and can live, work and study in Germany under the rules governing EU citizens and their family members.
Different requirements can apply to non-EU family members or third-country nationals residing in either country. In such cases, travellers should check the applicable immigration rules with the responsible authority before travelling.
