Croatia: visa decisions in Azerbaijan
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 923 | 755 | 112 | 12.9% | 83.4% |

In 2025, Croatia’s embassy and consulates in Azerbaijan (Baku) received 854 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 676. The refusal rate was 16.9%. The refusal rate fell by 8.1 points from 25.0% in 2024, a clear improvement for applicants. Applications rose by 45% compared with 2024 (587).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 9.8% of the applications lodged in Azerbaijan that year, from 3.0% at the consulates of Greece to 26.1% at those of Bulgaria. Croatia’s consulates worldwide refused 18.5%. Croatia was the 15th most applied-for Schengen state in Azerbaijan.
You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Azerbaijan, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
