Czech Republic: visa decisions in Ukraine

|---|---|---|---|---|

In 2025, the Czech Republic’s embassy and consulates in Ukraine (Kyiv) received 6 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 3. Applications rose by 50% compared with 2024 (4).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 10.7% of the applications lodged in Ukraine that year, from 5.2% at the consulates of Romania to 23.9% at those of France. the Czech Republic’s consulates worldwide refused 14.2%. The Czech Republic was the 12th most applied-for Schengen state in Ukraine.
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 Ukraine, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
