Denmark: visa decisions in the Philippines
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 4,653 | 3,951 | 613 | 13.4% | 66.7% |
| 2024 | 4,536 | 3,841 | 619 | 13.9% | 60.4% |
| 2025 | 5,174 | 4,442 | 654 | 12.8% | 42.6% |
In 2025, Denmark’s embassy and consulates in the Philippines (Manila) received 5,174 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 4,442. The refusal rate was 12.8%. That is barely different from 2024 (13.9%). Applications rose by 14% compared with 2024 (4,536).
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. Denmark’s consulates worldwide refused 21.9%. Denmark was the 9th 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.
