Many applicants often ask which country is more favorable for obtaining a Schengen visa to increase their chances of approval. Regarding this issue, we would like to share some professional insights today.
According to official statements, there is theoretically no such thing as a country with a higher or lower approval rate; it primarily depends on the preparation of your visa application materials.
In fact, we only need to pay attention to two points:
1. Selection of the application destination
You cannot decide which country to apply to based on rejection rates. For example, if you are traveling to Europe and visiting three countries, entering through Italy and staying there the longest, you must apply for an Italian visa. If you indicate in your itinerary that you will also be traveling to the Netherlands and Belgium, the visa officer will issue you a multiple-entry visa. You should submit your materials to the country of entry or the country where you will stay the longest.
2. Selection of the place of issuance
Once the country is determined, the approval rate for the same country may vary across different consular jurisdictions. For instance, the rejection rate for the Netherlands varies from 2.1% to 6.9% depending on the region of submission. Therefore, you may want to pay attention to the region where you submit your application, and if possible, choose a region with a higher approval rate.
In reality, as long as your documentation is complete and all information is accurate, you will generally not be rejected. It is best not to rely on luck.
