Lithuania: visa decisions in the United Arab Emirates
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 327 | 231 | 91 | 27.9% | 64.5% |
| 2024 | 202 | 142 | 49 | 24.6% | 51.4% |
| 2025 | 285 | 220 | 62 | 21.9% | 44.5% |
In 2025, Lithuania’s embassy and consulates in the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi Island and Internal Islands City) received 285 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 220. 21.9% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 24.6%: the rate fell by 2.7 points. Applications rose by 41% compared with 2024 (202).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 24.2% of the applications lodged in the United Arab Emirates that year, from 10.9% at the consulates of Latvia to 58.2% at those of Bulgaria. Lithuania’s consulates worldwide refused 14.4%. Lithuania was the 27th most applied-for Schengen state in the United Arab Emirates.
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 the United Arab Emirates, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
