Lithuania: visa decisions in Kazakhstan
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 7,432 | 6,160 | 1,237 | 16.7% | 44.3% |
| 2024 | 8,701 | 7,322 | 1,364 | 15.7% | 44.6% |
| 2025 | 8,858 | 7,274 | 1,478 | 16.9% | 45.6% |
In 2025, Lithuania’s embassy and consulates in Kazakhstan (Almaty and Astana) received 8,858 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 7,274. The refusal rate was 16.9%. That is barely different from 2024 (15.7%). The number of applications was almost unchanged (8,701 in 2024).
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. Lithuania’s consulates worldwide refused 14.4%. Lithuania was the 8th 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.
