2025 figures: 115 short-stay Schengen visa applications were lodged at Bulgaria’s embassy in Chișinău, and 98 visas were issued. 10 applications were refused, a refusal rate of 9.3%. The refusal rate rose by 8.9 points from 0.4% in 2024, a sharp increase. Applications fell by 48% compared with 2024 (220).
Bulgaria issues Schengen visas at 2 locations in Moldova; this office handled 85% of their 136 applications in 2025. 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 Moldova, 6.9% of applications were refused in 2025; Bulgaria’s rate worldwide was 12.5%. Bulgaria received the 6th largest number of applications of the 7 Schengen states represented here.
22.4% 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 Moldova.
