Romania issues Schengen visas at 2 locations in Iraq; this office handled 96% of their 822 applications in 2025. Refusal rates elsewhere: Erbil 20.6%, which makes Baghdad the highest of the group. Each office serves the applicants who live in its own consular district, so the rates also reflect who applies where, not only how strictly files are assessed.
Across all Schengen consulates in Iraq, 34.3% of applications were refused in 2025; Romania’s rate worldwide was 11.5%. Romania received the 10th largest number of applications of the 11 Schengen states represented here.
Multiple-entry visas made up 43.0% of those issued. Romania 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 Iraq.
