Oogwai Travel Intelligence — Schengen
Schengen short-stay visas · calendar year 2025 · 1,874 consulates
Twelve million people asked to enter Schengen. One in seven was refused.
Every application is decided by a single consulate, and consulates do not decide alike. The same passport, the same trip, a different flag on the door — and the odds move by tens of percentage points. This is the full 2025 record, consulate by consulate.
