Austria: visa decisions in Qatar
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 1 | 0 | 0 | – |
In 2025, Austria’s embassy and consulates in Qatar (Doha) received 1 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 0.
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 15.1% of the applications lodged in Qatar that year, from 7.2% at the consulates of Switzerland to 56.6% at those of Bulgaria. Austria’s consulates worldwide refused 11.9%. Austria was the 18th most applied-for Schengen state in Qatar.
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 Qatar, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
