Lithuania: visa decisions in Israel
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 20 | 18 | 0 | – | – |
| 2024 | 22 | 18 | 0 | – | – |
| 2025 | 27 | 27 | 0 | 0.0% | 70.4% |
In 2025, Lithuania’s embassy and consulates in Israel (Tel Aviv) received 27 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 27. The refusal rate was 0.0%. Applications rose by 23% compared with 2024 (22).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 18.5% of the applications lodged in Israel that year, from 2.1% at the consulates of Germany to 29.0% at those of Spain. Lithuania’s consulates worldwide refused 14.4%. Lithuania was the 21st most applied-for Schengen state in Israel.
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 Israel, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
