2025 figures: 206 short-stay Schengen visa applications were lodged at Romania’s embassy in Chișinău, and 188 visas were issued. 18 applications were refused, a refusal rate of 8.7%. The refusal rate rose by 1.5 points from 7.2% in 2024. Applications fell by 23% compared with 2024 (266).
Romania issues Schengen visas at 3 locations in Moldova; this office handled 66% of their 314 applications in 2025. Refusal rates elsewhere: Cahul 1.6% and Bălţi 2.1%, which makes Chișinău 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 Moldova, 6.9% of applications were refused in 2025; Romania’s rate worldwide was 11.5%. Romania received the 5th largest number of applications of the 7 Schengen states represented here.
53.7% of the visas issued here were multiple-entry visas, valid for several trips. 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 Moldova.
