Russian private (homestay) visa for Slovak ordinary-passport holders

🇸🇰SlovakiaeVisa first when eligible; otherwise a route-specific private visa

In short

Slovak ordinary-passport holders can use the unified eVisa for an eligible private visit within the official eVisa conditions. When a regular private visa is needed, the Russian Embassy in Slovakia publishes several distinct routes: an MIA electronic invitation, close-relative statements, burial travel, and urgent treatment or serious-illness/death cases. Choose the route that matches the actual circumstances; their documents and permitted terms are not interchangeable.

Slovakia: eVisa first when eligible; otherwise a route-specific private visa

Use the official eVisa portal for an eligible private visit. For a regular private visa, open the Embassy's private-visa page and select the exact invitation, relative, burial, or urgent-humanitarian route before preparing documents.

Documents Slovak ordinary-passport holders will need

Embassy in Slovakia — common filing baseline

  • Completed and printed application from visa.kdmid.ru.
  • Passport, photograph and medical insurance in the format and validity stated by the Embassy for the selected route.
  • Route-specific proof of invitation, relationship, burial, treatment, serious illness or death, as applicable.

Private-visa routes published by the Embassy

  • MIA electronic invitation: a single- or double-entry private visa for up to 90 days, subject to the invitation and the Embassy's common documents.
  • Close-relative routes: the applicable Russian-citizen or EU-citizen statement route plus proof of the qualifying family relationship and the Embassy's listed documents.
  • Burial travel: a route of up to 14 days with the death/burial and relationship evidence listed by the Embassy.

Do not substitute a generic invitation for the supporting evidence required by another private-visa route. The Embassy's official page controls the exact form, passport, insurance, relationship and emergency evidence for each case.

How long is the MIA-invitation private visa route?

The Embassy in Slovakia publishes a single- or double-entry route for up to 90 days based on the MIA electronic invitation and the required filing documents.

Are close-relative, burial and medical-emergency cases the same route?
