Austria: visa decisions in Brazil
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 36 | 13 | 0 | 0.0% | – |
| 2024 | 35 | 7 | 2 | 5.7% | – |
| 2025 | 45 | 37 | 0 | 0.0% | 64.9% |
In 2025, Austria’s embassy and consulates in Brazil (Brasília) received 45 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 37. The refusal rate was 0.0%. The refusal rate fell by 5.7 points from 5.7% in 2024, a clear improvement for applicants. Applications rose by 29% compared with 2024 (35).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 23.6% of the applications lodged in Brazil that year, from 16.4% at the consulates of France to 57.0% at those of Portugal. Austria’s consulates worldwide refused 11.9%. Austria was the 10th most applied-for Schengen state in Brazil.
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 Brazil, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
