2025 figures: 227 short-stay Schengen visa applications were lodged at Bulgaria’s embassy in Tirana, and 202 visas were issued. 9 applications were refused, a refusal rate of 4.3%. That is barely different from 2024 (5.0%). Applications rose by 15% compared with 2024 (197).
Across all Schengen consulates in Albania, 5.4% of applications were refused in 2025; Bulgaria’s rate worldwide was 12.5%. Bulgaria received the 2nd largest number of applications of the 13 Schengen states represented here.
91.6% of the visas issued here were multiple-entry visas, valid for several trips. Bulgaria only began issuing Schengen visas on 31 March 2024, so its 2024 figures cover part of the year. The statistics count applications, not people, and include every nationality that applies here, not only citizens of Albania.
