Poland: visa decisions in Serbia
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 146 | 144 | 2 | 1.4% | 35.4% |
| 2024 | 168 | 149 | 16 | 9.7% | 38.3% |
| 2025 | 160 | 154 | 5 | 3.1% | 39.0% |
In 2025, Poland’s embassy and consulates in Serbia (Belgrade) received 160 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 154. The refusal rate was 3.1%. The refusal rate fell by 6.6 points from 9.7% in 2024, a clear improvement for applicants. Applications fell by 5% compared with 2024 (168).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 5.7% of the applications lodged in Serbia that year, from 1.1% at the consulates of Greece to 16.9% at those of Croatia. Poland’s consulates worldwide refused 15.8%. Poland was the 16th most applied-for Schengen state in Serbia.
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 Serbia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
