Slovenia: visa decisions in South Korea
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|

In 2025, Slovenia’s embassy and consulates in South Korea (Seoul) received 17 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 11. Applications rose by 31% compared with 2024 (13).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 11.5% of the applications lodged in South Korea that year, from 3.6% at the consulates of Spain to 12.1% at those of France. Slovenia’s consulates worldwide refused 21.4%. Slovenia was the 18th most applied-for Schengen state in South Korea.
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 South Korea, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
