Czech Republic: visa decisions in Moldova
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 692 | 681 | 11 | 1.6% | 3.4% |
| 2024 | 409 | 395 | 14 | 3.4% | 3.8% |
| 2025 | 490 | 467 | 23 | 4.7% | 2.6% |
In 2025, the Czech Republic’s embassy and consulates in Moldova (Chișinău) received 490 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 467. 4.7% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 3.4%. Applications rose by 20% compared with 2024 (409).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 6.9% of the applications lodged in Moldova that year. the Czech Republic’s consulates worldwide refused 14.2%. The Czech Republic was the most applied-for Schengen state in Moldova.
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 Moldova, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
