  • Finances: a bank confirmation of the balance on an account in your name. The amount is 12× the subsistence minimum (from 1 Jul 2026 €3,542.64 in total); for business an extra separate business account. Not older than 90 days.
  • Every document issued abroad needs an apostille (or superlegalisation) and a certified Slovak translation. Translate after the apostille.
