How to read the result
What these figures can answer
- ✓
How many applications and decisions reporting posts recorded in 2024 and 2025.
- ✓
How many recorded decisions ended in a visa issued or not issued in the official rows.
- ✓
How your real destination compares historically with other sufficiently large series in the same country.
Essential rule
The data does not change the competent country.
The application belongs with the country of your main purpose or longest stay; if stays are equal, first entry may resolve competence. You must also confirm the office responsible where you lawfully reside.

Direct questions
What to know before comparing
Which Schengen country is easiest for a visa?
There is no universally easiest Schengen country. Published outcomes vary by the country where reporting posts are located, destination, year, and case mix. You must apply to the country responsible for your real itinerary.
Does a lower historical not-issued rate predict my result?
No. It describes past aggregate decisions, not your personal probability. Authorities assess your actual purpose, itinerary, finances, evidence, and circumstances.
Where should I lodge a Schengen application?
Use the country competent for your real trip—normally the main purpose or longest stay, with the first destination resolving an equal-stay itinerary—and confirm current local jurisdiction where you lawfully reside.
