Poland: visa decisions in Azerbaijan
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2,886 | 2,659 | 218 | 7.5% | 35.3% |
| 2024 | 3,085 | 2,799 | 254 | 8.3% | 31.9% |
| 2025 | 3,319 | 2,923 | 380 | 11.4% | 42.4% |
In 2025, Poland’s embassy and consulates in Azerbaijan (Baku) received 3,319 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 2,923. The refusal rate was 11.4%. The refusal rate rose by 3.2 points from 8.3% in 2024. Applications rose by 8% compared with 2024 (3,085).
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. Poland’s consulates worldwide refused 15.8%. Poland was the 9th 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.
