Austria: visa decisions in Georgia
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2,246 | 1,866 | 378 | 16.8% | 18.2% |
| 2024 | 2,747 | 2,348 | 399 | 14.5% | 19.0% |
| 2025 | 2,872 | 2,436 | 328 | 11.9% | 22.6% |
In 2025, Austria’s embassy and consulates in Georgia (Tbilisi) received 2,872 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 2,436. The refusal rate was 11.9%. The refusal rate fell by 2.7 points from 14.5% in 2024. Applications rose by 5% compared with 2024 (2,747).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 13.8% of the applications lodged in Georgia that year, from 3.1% at the consulates of the Netherlands to 33.9% at those of Italy. Austria’s consulates worldwide refused 11.9%. Austria was the most applied-for Schengen state in Georgia.
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 Georgia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
