Getting a Schengen visa is the easiest at these countries

 

Getting a Schengen visa is the easiest at these countries:

1. Lithuania

Approval Rate: ~98.7% Why it’s easier: High approval rates, less visa demand compared to Western European countries. Good for: First-time travelers or those with minimal travel history.

2. Estonia Approval Rate: ~98.4% Why it’s easier: Efficient and tech-savvy application process, low rejection rates. Bonus: Often less crowded consulates/embassies.

3. Finland Approval Rate: ~98.3% Why it’s easier: Transparent, organized process with consistent decisions. Tip: Apply well in advance; Finland tends to process applications thoroughly but fairly.

4. Iceland

Approval Rate: ~98.2% Why it’s easier: Small number of applications = higher chances and more personal scrutiny (which is good if your documents are strong). Note: May be processed through embassies of other Schengen countries depending on your location.

5. Latvia Approval Rate: ~98.1% Why it’s easier: Low application volume, efficient systems. Best for: Travelers from countries with good bilateral relations with the EU.

General Tips for Easy Approval: Apply through a country where you will spend the most time. If your travel is equal in multiple countries, apply through the one of first entry. Choose countries with fewer tourist visa applicants. They tend to have more bandwidth to consider each application carefully. Ensure complete and consistent documentation. Even “easy” embassies require well-prepared applications. Show strong ties to your home country. This is key to reducing suspicion of overstaying.
