In 2025, Slovenia’s embassy and consulates in North Macedonia (Skopje) received 16 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 8. Applications rose by 167% compared with 2024 (6).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 5.2% of the applications lodged in North Macedonia that year. Slovenia’s consulates worldwide refused 21.4%. Slovenia was the 14th 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.
