2025 figures: 742 short-stay Schengen visa applications were lodged at Romania’s embassy in Pretoria, and 701 visas were issued. 39 applications were refused, a refusal rate of 5.3%. That is barely different from 2024 (3.9%). Applications rose by 35% compared with 2024 (548).
Across all Schengen consulates in South Africa, 5.3% of applications were refused in 2025; Romania’s rate worldwide was 11.5%. Romania received the 17th largest number of applications of the 21 Schengen states represented here.
55.5% 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 South Africa.
