Is there an application fee for specific-activity residence in Slovakia?

The specific-activity category includes several fee exemptions. Applicants participating in a governmental or EU programme, or whose activity results from an international agreement, are typically exempt from paying the application and renewal fees.

Interns receiving scholarships under the relevant ministry or international agreements, and foreign-language lecturers teaching in Slovak schools under international-agreement programmes, are also commonly exempt. Because exemptions depend on the precise basis of your stay, check whether your programme or agreement qualifies before paying anything.
