Czech Republic: visa decisions in Kazakhstan
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 11,357 | 9,707 | 1,646 | 14.5% | 8.0% |
| 2024 | 10,843 | 9,702 | 1,141 | 10.5% | 8.1% |
| 2025 | 13,850 | 11,131 | 2,715 | 19.6% | 9.7% |
In 2025, the Czech Republic’s embassy and consulates in Kazakhstan (Astana) received 13,850 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 11,131. 19.6% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 10.5%: the rate rose by 9.1 points, a sharp increase. Applications rose by 28% compared with 2024 (10,843).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 9.1% of the applications lodged in Kazakhstan that year, from 1.6% at the consulates of Romania to 20.5% at those of Finland. the Czech Republic’s consulates worldwide refused 14.2%. The Czech Republic was the 5th most applied-for Schengen state in Kazakhstan.
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 Kazakhstan, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
