Which Schengen country has the highest refusal rate?

The visa situation in Schengen countries is different from country to country. Well-known European countries are generally simple, but some small countries are extremely prone to visa refusal, which really makes people a little desperate. Let's share with you a list of countries with the highest refusal rate in Schengen countries.

At present, many tourists from China travel to Europe, and the number is increasing. However, many people are inexplicably angry at the different visa difficulty factors in Schengen countries in Europe. It is rumored that "France is the fastest (acceptance speed), France, Spain and Italy have the best visa (visa), and Germany is the most difficult", etc. In fact, the situation is really different.

The following great god will give you an official data form, which comprehensively shows the visa acceptance data of various Schengen countries and reveals which Schengen country has the highest visa refusal rate.

At present, the latest official data is 20 17, about the visa acceptance and issuance of 20 16 in the embassy and consulate of the Schengen country, China.

As the number of embassies and consulates in China is different in different countries, in order to understand it more intuitively, I now select the data of two embassies and consulates in Beijing and Shanghai for display and analysis:

About the quantity accepted and sent.

The number accepted can be calculated by the refusal rate and the number issued. Judging from the number of acceptors, the highest number is France, and the number of acceptors in Beijing and Shanghai museums has reached 200,000+,which can be said to be a complete explosion in other countries, and it has not exceeded the expectations of the public.

The reasons are also easy to analyze: firstly, France is one of the most mainstream Schengen countries, and secondly, the French embassy has a fast acceptance rate. Under normal circumstances, the results can be obtained within 3 days after entering the museum;

And France's impressive record in the number of applications seems to make other embassies and visa centers "jealous"-so many visa fees and service fees are "completely" earned.

Next to France are Germany and Italy, with the number of cases handled by a single embassy or consulate reaching 65,438+million+,followed by Spain's 50,000+. It can be said that visas from mainstream countries are still the first choice for most applicants; In Slovenia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Estonia and other relatively unpopular countries, the number of cases accepted by a single embassy or consulate is only about 1000, which is less than that of mainstream countries 1% or even hundreds.

On rejection rate

The data presented is not the same as that predicted by everyone; Whether in Beijing or Shanghai, Malta has the highest refusal rate, reaching about one third.

What needs to be explained here is that Malta was once one of the preferred immigrant countries in Schengen, so the Maltese Embassy is particularly cautious about visa applications; However, from the second half of 20 17, the Maltese government decided to relax immigration restrictions, and the visa refusal rate also dropped significantly.

Except Malta, the only visa refusal rate that exceeds double digits is the Portuguese visa accepted by Beijing Embassy, reaching 10.3%, and the rest are Estonian and Lithuanian visas accepted by Beijing Embassy. These countries with high refusal rates are not the mainstream countries that applicants often choose.

In mainstream countries such as France, Germany, Italy and Spain, the comprehensive refusal rate is about 3.2%, of which Spain is the lowest, only1.6%;

The data shows that most applicants can still get visas smoothly.

Among all Schengen countries, Iceland has the lowest refusal rate, which is only 0.1%; The rest is less than 1%, and there are Estonian, Austrian and Norwegian visas accepted by the Shanghai Consulate.

About applying for a visa

The data has clearly given the number of visas issued by the embassies and consulates of Schengen countries in Beijing and Shanghai, which can be used as one of your references for visa application. In addition, the tiger visa will give you three suggestions:

First, try to choose mainstream countries to sign contracts.

Mainstream countries are more stable and efficient from the service of visa centers to the acceptance of embassies and consulates; If you choose a travel agency, then the travel agency has more experience.

Second, it is comparative territory.

The refusal rate of embassies and consulates in different consular districts varies greatly; For example, the refusal rate of the Beijing Embassy is more than 40 times that of the Shanghai Consulate. Among the mainstream countries, the refusal rate of France and Italy in Beijing is obviously lower than that in Shanghai, while Germany is just the opposite; Spain, on the other hand, is extremely balanced, with the refusal rate of both territories being 1.6%.

Third, prepare the materials carefully.

Schengen visa is a typical "material sign", and whether the embassy or consulate issues a visa depends entirely on the materials submitted by the applicant; If the applicant prepares the materials in full accordance with the requirements of the embassy, optimizes the materials by professionals and matches the reasonable itinerary, the embassy will not refuse the applicant's visa application.
