Non-official visits

The diplomatic mission needs to address an official request to the Bratislava airport officials, specifically the Entry Department administration. The Entry Department will issue the permit for a specific date and time, based on the written request received from the diplomatic mission. The information must include all details of the flight (date, times of arrival and departure). The diplomatic mission must also provide information regarding the arriving and welcoming delegation (name, D.O.B., passport/ID number, car licence plate number). All requests should be sent to vstupnyrezim@bts.aero (phone contact +421/2/3303 3142 during the Working hours 08:00 am – 16:00 pm.). For more information, please contact the Handling Department of the M. R. Štefánik Airport in Bratislava on +421/2/3303 3354 or mobile phone +421/2/903/205 189 and on generalaviation@bts.aero.
