Lithuania: visa decisions in Egypt
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 793 | 488 | 222 | 29.9% | 18.4% |
| 2024 | 702 | 441 | 221 | 33.0% | 32.2% |
| 2025 | 726 | 447 | 255 | 35.9% | 27.7% |
In 2025, Lithuania’s embassy and consulates in Egypt (Cairo) received 726 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 447. 35.9% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 33.0%: the rate rose by 2.9 points. Applications rose by 3% compared with 2024 (702).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 24.2% of the applications lodged in Egypt that year, from 4.4% at the consulates of Romania to 50.9% at those of Sweden. Lithuania’s consulates worldwide refused 14.4%. Lithuania was the 21st most applied-for Schengen state in Egypt.
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 Egypt, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
