Luxembourg: visa decisions in Russia
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 1,118 | 885 | 36 | 3.4% | 87.3% |
| 2024 | 951 | 793 | 25 | 2.7% | 84.9% |
| 2025 | 1,048 | 732 | 27 | 3.1% | 94.9% |
In 2025, Luxembourg’s embassy and consulates in Russia (Moscow) received 1,048 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 732. 3.1% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 2.7%. Applications rose by 10% compared with 2024 (951).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 6.4% of the applications lodged in Russia that year, from 0.9% at the consulates of the Netherlands to 19.8% at those of Malta. Luxembourg’s consulates worldwide refused 14.8%. Luxembourg was the 20th most applied-for Schengen state in Russia.
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 Russia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
