Italy: visa decisions in Oman
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 6,371 | 5,796 | 575 | 9.0% | 93.5% |
| 2024 | 6,641 | 5,818 | 823 | 12.4% | 91.6% |
| 2025 | 6,688 | 5,874 | 814 | 12.2% | 94.0% |
In 2025, Italy’s embassy and consulates in Oman (Muscat) received 6,688 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 5,874. The refusal rate was 12.2%. That is barely different from 2024 (12.4%). The number of applications was almost unchanged (6,641 in 2024).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 10.5% of the applications lodged in Oman that year, from 3.7% at the consulates of Austria to 16.6% at those of Spain. Italy’s consulates worldwide refused 10.8%. Italy was the 5th most applied-for Schengen state in Oman.
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 Oman, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
