Embassy of the Slovak Republic - Consular department (temporary)

I had an unpleasant experience using visa services from this Embassy, and I wish there was a way to give zero stars. However, I must acknowledge that the security man working there is the only competent person I encountered. Unfortunately, I would advise against using the Embassy's visa services if you are not of European ethnic origin. In my experience, the behaviour was unprofessional and disgusting. To begin with, the Embassy only accepts cash payments, which is strange and dodgy, especially when compared to my local takeaway that accepts card payments. Be prepared to walk for 23 minutes to the nearest cash machine to withdraw the required amount. Additionally, the front desk ADMIN staff will subject you to questioning about your personal circumstances as if it is an interview, which is contrary to application rules. They may even call you a liar and question your intent for applying for a visa, implying that you may overstay. After all, who in their right mind would want to overstay in SLOVAKIA when they live in the UK? Utter madness!

(Translated by Google) The consular department of the Embassy of the Slovak Republic is located in a good place opposite Hyde Park. It is necessary to make an appointment in advance. It is advisable to fill in all data online. You also need to have everything you need, documents, a fee in cash and possibly also a "special delivery" envelope with stamps if you want the new document to be sent to your address in the UK. The staff of the consular department is professional and everything was arranged in less than ten minutes. Thank you for doing it so professionally, despite the fact that some people come and do not know how to behave politely, they do not have everything necessary to process the request and they are not willing to accept that it is their fault and not that of the staff...
