Slovakia: visa decisions in Turkey
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2,519 | 2,236 | 254 | 10.1% | 82.9% |
| 2024 | 2,941 | 2,744 | 198 | 6.7% | 82.9% |
| 2025 | 3,003 | 2,799 | 196 | 6.5% | 73.7% |
In 2025, Slovakia’s embassy and consulates in Turkey (Istanbul and Ankara) received 3,003 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 2,799. 6.5% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 6.7%. The number of applications was almost unchanged (2,941 in 2024).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 14.6% of the applications lodged in Turkey that year, from 3.5% at the consulates of Portugal to 35.5% at those of Lithuania. Slovakia’s consulates worldwide refused 9.6%. Slovakia was the 25th most applied-for Schengen state in Turkey.
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 Turkey, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
