Slovenia: visa decisions in Australia
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 40 | 38 | 0 | 0.0% | 26.3% |
| 2024 | 54 | 49 | 2 | 3.9% | 44.9% |
| 2025 | 61 | 52 | 9 | 14.8% | 21.2% |
In 2025, Slovenia’s embassy and consulates in Australia (Canberra) received 61 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 52. 14.8% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 3.9%: the rate rose by 10.8 points, a sharp increase. Applications rose by 13% compared with 2024 (54).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 3.0% of the applications lodged in Australia that year, from 0.6% at the consulates of Switzerland to 8.8% at those of the Netherlands. Slovenia’s consulates worldwide refused 21.4%. Slovenia was the 15th most applied-for Schengen state in Australia.
You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Australia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
