Slovakia: visa decisions in Serbia
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|

In 2025, Slovakia’s embassy and consulates in Serbia (Belgrade) received 5 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 5. Applications rose by 150% compared with 2024 (2).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 5.7% of the applications lodged in Serbia that year, from 1.1% at the consulates of Greece to 16.9% at those of Croatia. Slovakia’s consulates worldwide refused 9.6%. Slovakia was the 19th most applied-for Schengen state in Serbia.
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 Serbia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
