Visas
If you hold an ordinary Australian passport you do not need a visa for any stay up to 90 days, whether your visit is for business or as a tourist. If you intend to stay in the Slovak Republic longer than 90 days, you will need a Long Stay Visa from the Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Australia.
For further information please contact your nearest Slovak Republic Embassy or Consulate prior to arrival.

OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises
Multinational Enterprises should be aware of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises that provide voluntary principles and standards for responsible business behaviour in a variety of areas, consistent with applicable domestic laws. These Guidelines are endorsed and promoted by the Australian Government. For more information, go to the AusNCP website.
Bilateral agreements
Australia has social security agreements with several countries that address the issue of 'double super coverage' for employees sent to work overseas. To take advantage of these agreements, Australian employers sending employees overseas to work must apply to the Tax Office for a Certificate of coverage.
