About the Embassy of Slovakia in Ukraine
The ambassador is Pavel Vízdal, according to the directory of foreign diplomatic missions published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (October 2026), which gives 16 August 2024 as the date credentials were presented. Slovakia is also represented by the Consulate General of Slovakia in Uzhhorod. The office is in the capital, Kyiv, about 29 km in a straight line from Boryspil International Airport. Ukraine’s airspace remains closed to civil flights, according to GOV.UK travel advice (October 2026).
Do Slovak citizens need a visa for Ukraine?
Holders of ordinary Slovak passports do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period in Ukraine, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine’s entry-regime table (as of 8 June 2023). Ukraine is not part of the Schengen area and applies its own visa rules.
Documents checklist
Prepare these documents before your appointment. The lists are taken from official Slovak sources:
Slovak passport (application abroad)
- Book an appointment (many embassies use an electronic booking service) and apply in person (applicants 18+)
- A valid Slovak ID card or Slovak passport as proof of citizenship – a driving licence is not accepted
- Without either: first obtain a Slovak citizenship certificate
- Name changes abroad: the apostilled certificate with Slovak translation
- Passports are produced in Slovakia; lost passport: emergency travel document for the return to Slovakia
