Poland: visa decisions in Vietnam
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 686 | 648 | 36 | 5.2% | 50.5% |
| 2024 | 761 | 736 | 25 | 3.3% | 57.3% |
| 2025 | 958 | 923 | 35 | 3.6% | 44.1% |
In 2025, Poland’s embassy and consulates in Vietnam (Hanoi) received 958 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 923. 3.6% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 3.3%. Applications rose by 26% compared with 2024 (761).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 9.4% of the applications lodged in Vietnam that year. Poland’s consulates worldwide refused 15.8%. Poland was the 14th most applied-for Schengen state in Vietnam.
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 Vietnam, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
