Luxembourg: visa decisions in Turkey
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2,490 | 2,065 | 357 | 14.7% | 81.9% |
| 2024 | 2,923 | 2,388 | 466 | 16.3% | 91.8% |
| 2025 | 3,412 | 3,045 | 293 | 8.8% | 90.3% |
In 2025, Luxembourg’s embassy and consulates in Turkey (Ankara) received 3,412 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 3,045. The refusal rate was 8.8%. The refusal rate fell by 7.6 points from 16.3% in 2024, a clear improvement for applicants. Applications rose by 17% compared with 2024 (2,923).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 14.6% of the applications lodged in Turkey that year, from 3.5% at the consulates of Portugal to 35.5% at those of Lithuania. Luxembourg’s consulates worldwide refused 14.8%. Luxembourg was the 23rd most applied-for Schengen state in Turkey.
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 Turkey, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
