Slovenia: visa decisions in Iran
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 616 | 506 | 125 | 19.8% | 55.1% |
| 2024 | 500 | 343 | 145 | 29.7% | 42.9% |
| 2025 | 289 | 189 | 90 | 32.3% | 52.4% |
In 2025, Slovenia’s embassy and consulates in Iran (Tehran) received 289 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 189. The refusal rate was 32.3%. The refusal rate rose by 2.5 points from 29.7% in 2024. Applications fell by 42% compared with 2024 (500).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 29.1% of the applications lodged in Iran that year, from 16.6% at the consulates of Romania to 46.2% at those of Austria. Slovenia’s consulates worldwide refused 21.4%. Slovenia was the 19th most applied-for Schengen state in Iran.
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 Iran, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
