Slovakia: visa decisions in Kosovo
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2024 | 2 | 2 | 0 | – | – |
In 2024, Slovakia’s embassy and consulates in Kosovo (Pristina) received 2 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 2. Applications fell by 98% compared with 2023 (129).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 10.0% of the applications lodged in Kosovo that year. Slovakia’s consulates worldwide refused 9.9%. Slovakia was the 10th most applied-for Schengen state in Kosovo.
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 Kosovo, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
