In 2025, Slovakia’s embassy and consulates in North Macedonia (Skopje) received 1 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 0. Applications fell by 86% compared with 2024 (7).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 5.2% of the applications lodged in North Macedonia that year. Slovakia’s consulates worldwide refused 9.6%. Slovakia was the 16th most applied-for Schengen state in North Macedonia.
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 North Macedonia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
