Greece: visa decisions in Kosovo
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 7,800 | 159 | 994 | 12.8% | 56.6% |
| 2024 | 124 | 105 | 16 | 13.0% | 61.0% |
| 2025 | 95 | 78 | 17 | 17.9% | 79.5% |
In 2025, Greece’s embassy and consulates in Kosovo (Pristina) received 95 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 78. 17.9% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 13.0%: the rate rose by 4.9 points. Applications fell by 23% compared with 2024 (124).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 9.6% of the applications lodged in Kosovo that year. Greece’s consulates worldwide refused 14.5%. Greece was the 5th most applied-for Schengen state in Kosovo.
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 Kosovo, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
