Austria: visa decisions in Peru

In 2025, Austria’s embassy and consulates in Peru (Lima) received 22 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 15. Applications rose by 29% compared with 2024 (17).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 16.9% of the applications lodged in Peru that year. Austria’s consulates worldwide refused 11.9%. Austria was the 12th most applied-for Schengen state in Peru.
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 Peru, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
