Slovakia: visa decisions in Vietnam
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 142 | 127 | 12 | 8.6% | 4.7% |
| 2024 | 149 | 147 | 1 | 0.7% | 4.8% |
| 2025 | 179 | 179 | 0 | 0.0% | 12.3% |
In 2025, Slovakia’s embassy and consulates in Vietnam (Hanoi) received 179 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 179. 0.0% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 0.7%. Applications rose by 20% compared with 2024 (149).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 9.4% of the applications lodged in Vietnam that year, from 3.6% at the consulates of Poland to 20.8% at those of Finland. Slovakia’s consulates worldwide refused 9.6%. Slovakia was the 16th most applied-for Schengen state in Vietnam.
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 Vietnam, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
