Switzerland: visa decisions in Indonesia
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 21,318 | 20,717 | 454 | 2.1% | 21.8% |
| 2024 | 19,679 | 18,846 | 667 | 3.4% | 17.9% |
| 2025 | 19,162 | 17,310 | 1,769 | 9.2% | 16.6% |
In 2025, Switzerland’s embassy and consulates in Indonesia (Jakarta) received 19,162 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 17,310. 9.2% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 3.4%: the rate rose by 5.8 points, a sharp increase. Applications fell by 3% compared with 2024 (19,679).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 5.2% of the applications lodged in Indonesia that year, from 0.0% at the consulates of Austria to 10.1% at those of Croatia. Switzerland’s consulates worldwide refused 12.5%. Switzerland was the 4th most applied-for Schengen state in Indonesia.
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 Indonesia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
