Czech Republic: visa decisions in the Philippines
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 3,234 | 2,905 | 329 | 10.2% | 40.3% |
| 2024 | 3,539 | 2,790 | 749 | 21.2% | 14.6% |
| 2025 | 4,094 | 3,181 | 913 | 22.3% | 11.7% |
In 2025, the Czech Republic’s embassy and consulates in the Philippines (Manila) received 4,094 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 3,181. The refusal rate was 22.3%. That is barely different from 2024 (21.2%). Applications rose by 16% compared with 2024 (3,539).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 6.9% of the applications lodged in the Philippines that year. the Czech Republic’s consulates worldwide refused 14.2%. The Czech Republic was the 11th 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.
