Important information
- At the moment, the registration of documents at the Consulate of Slovakia in India (New Delhi) is complicated due to the large number of customers.The Customer determines the country of registration independently and provides us with information.
- The employer will submit a letter of request to the Consulate of the country to which the Client will submit a request for further registration, and we will provide confirmation (a scanned copy of the request).
- We are not responsible if the registration date is not received within the specified period of 90 days, and we will submit a repeat request to the consulate. The payment of the last part of the amount of 25% from the Customer will be canceled, and the previous advances will be credited to the Employer for the documents provided and the request to the Consulate.

Information from the Consulate of Slovakia
How to make an appointment (New Delhi) — National D Visa (Employment)
1) Booking via e-mail
For a national visa (D) for employment purposes, the Consulate in New Delhi typically uses e-mail reservations (not the same online system as Schengen Type C).
Reservation e-mail:
Important
The reservation request should be sent by the Slovak employer (with valid IČO). Individual requests may be ignored.
2) When booking opens (examples)
The consulate publishes specific days when reservation requests are accepted. Examples (2026 practice):
- 30 January 2026
- 10 February 2026
- 20 March 2026
Send a letter only on published dates and only once (repeated e-mails may slow down processing).
3) What must be in the e-mail
- Full name of the applicant
- Date of birth
- Passport number
- Citizenship
- Employer name + National D visa confirmation (employment)
- Mobile number of the applicant and/or employer contact
- If family members apply: add their data in the same letter
4) Confirmation timing
After sending the letter on the prescribed day, the consulate may confirm the date/time within 30–90 days or report that the queue is full. Avoid repeated e-mails before receiving a response.
Are there “paid slots”?
No. The consulate does not sell paid slots. Any payments are only official fees and services (if applicable) — not “buying appointments”.
