Luxembourg: visa decisions in China
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 1,671 | 1,462 | 63 | 4.1% | 32.0% |
| 2024 | 2,630 | 2,495 | 75 | 2.9% | 35.4% |
| 2025 | 1,997 | 1,921 | 25 | 1.3% | 49.5% |
In 2025, Luxembourg’s embassy and consulates in China (Beijing and Shanghai) received 1,997 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,921. 1.3% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 2.9%: the rate fell by 1.6 points. Applications fell by 24% compared with 2024 (2,630).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 4.0% of the applications lodged in China that year. Luxembourg’s consulates worldwide refused 14.8%. Luxembourg was the 25th most applied-for Schengen state in China.
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 China, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
