Austria: visa decisions in the Philippines

YearApplicationsVisas issuedRefusedRefusal rateMultiple-entry share
2023 4,2283,9083207.6% 100.0%
2024 4,5244,3132114.7% 100.0%
2025 4,9054,6351863.9% 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.
