About the honorary consulate in Zálesie
The honorary consulate represents Lithuania in Slovakia. The ministry’s list gives the office hours as Monday 11:00–13:00; Wednesday 09:30–11:30. To check before a visit, call +421 905 403 596 or e-mail jcslovakia@gmail.com.
The ministry’s list names Bratislava as the consul’s seat; the office address is in the village of Zálesie in the Senec district, just east of the city.
Zálesie, in the Bratislava Region, lies about 12 km in a straight line from the centre of Bratislava and about 5 km from Bratislava Airport (M. R. Štefánik).
As citizens of an EU country, Lithuanian nationals need no visa for Slovakia; a valid passport or national identity card is enough to enter.
Which Lithuanian office issues passports and visas?
Passports and other formal consular services for Lithuanian citizens are handled by the Lithuanian Embassy in Vienna (accredited to Slovakia).
Lithuania has no embassy in Slovakia. According to the Diplomatic List of the Slovak Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (7 October 2026), the mission accredited to Slovakia is the Embassy of Lithuania in Vienna. It is headed by Lina Rukštelienė (ambassador, credentials presented on 19 January 2023).

What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by Lithuania and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Lithuanian citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
