The Schengen area is a part of the territory of Europe in which people may travel freely without any border checks at internal borders of Schengen Member States. Citizens from some non-EU countries are required to have a visa when travelling to the Schengen area.

Slovakia is a special country. Even in such a small area, you’ll find everything from natural treasures and historical monuments to rich folk culture and modern entertainment in the busy city streets. Enjoy the beauty and unique atmosphere that Slovakia has to offer.

A qualified, productive and cost-effective labour force, unique geographical location in the heart of Europe, macroeconomic stability and membership in the Eurozone are just some of the factors that enable the successful implementation of investment projects in Slovakia.
