Austria: visa decisions in the Philippines
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 4,228 | 3,908 | 320 | 7.6% | 100.0% |
| 2024 | 4,524 | 4,313 | 211 | 4.7% | 100.0% |
| 2025 | 4,905 | 4,635 | 186 | 3.9% | 99.9% |
In 2025, Austria’s embassy and consulates in the Philippines (Manila) received 4,905 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 4,635. The refusal rate was 3.9%. That is barely different from 2024 (4.7%). Applications rose by 8% compared with 2024 (4,524).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 6.9% of the applications lodged in the Philippines that year, from 3.8% at the consulates of the Netherlands to 22.3% at those of the Czech Republic. Austria’s consulates worldwide refused 11.9%. Austria was the 10th most applied-for Schengen state in the Philippines.
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 the Philippines, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
