Explore the World with Jamieson Travel & Consulting Agency

Do not make travel arrangements to Slovakia solely for the purpose of attending an appointment until you have a confirmed booking. The Slovak appointment scheduling system does not allow us to select from a calendar of dates and times; instead, it automatically offers the earliest available appointment. This is frequently within seven (7) days. Accordingly, applicants must be prepared to travel on short notice, with as little as one week’s advance notice. 

Appointments in Slovakia typically require attendance over multiple days—generally one appointment on the first day and a second appointment on a different day. You should not expect to complete all submissions in a single day. Travel is required to at least Poprad (from where we can transport you to appointments), or to our current partner offices in Košice or Prešov.  We will be adding other locations in the future, but we do not have an ETA yet. 

 As little as 3 days, but as many as 7, depending on appointment availability. 

When completing the appointment request form, you must provide specific date ranges for your availability. This way, we can keep an eye on your upcoming availability. Examples include:

• “The week of August 25th”
• “The entire month of October”
• “Anytime in March or April”

 The service fees are as follows: 

• Scheduling and coordination of appointments & document review:  300€, which includes the scheduling and coordination of your appointments, administrative tasks associated with the submission process in Slovakia, and final document review. A 50€ discount is applied for full-service clients of Jamieson Consulting Firm. This fee is due at the time your appointments are confirmed.
• In-person interpretation services for both appointments: 250€ per appointment, which covers travel time, and up to 1.5 hours - whether it's waiting or physically interpreting. Each additional 30 minutes is billed at 25€. For example, if your appointment time is at 1 pm, and you are called into the office at 2 pm, that is one hour. Then, once in the office, it takes one hour to complete your appointment, that's a total of two hours, and an additional 30 minutes, so your cost for the one appointment would be 275€. Keep in mind that there are two appointments when submitting in Slovakia. They are usually not on the same day, but within a day or two of each other in most cases. Each appointment is different, so we cannot provide an estimate of the total cost. The initial 500€ for interpretation services is due at the time your appointments are confirmed. The additional fees for additional time are due at the time services are rendered.

These fees are non-refundable. The exact fee is determined by the number of days the interpreter will be needed.

It is strongly recommended that you obtain travel insurance with “cancel for any reason” coverage. We are not responsible for:

• Canceled or rescheduled appointments
• Interrupted or delayed travel
• Extended stays or related expenses

We are not government officials, lawyers, or attorneys, and we do not provide legal representation.
