Obtaining a Schengen visa from a non-EU country can be a nightmare due to lengthy processing
times, numerous paperwork requirements, and significant delays.
Sometimes, the massive paperwork required for getting a Schengen visa looks like a whole
book.
And even if you complete all of the requirements and go through the lengthy process, there
is a very high chance of rejection because many EU countries tightened visa requirements
following the Covid-19.
Not just that, a few extra checks, such as vaccination certificate verification, are
now part of the visa application process, causing complications in visa processing.
In today’s video, I’m going to help you expedite your visa acquisition, by suggesting
easier countries to file your Schengen visa application.

Before introducing the easiest and fastest counties to get Schengen visa, I want to briefly
direct your attention to also some tricky countries too.
starting from the country with the highest rate of visas not issued, moving on successively
to the country with the best percentage of visas issued on this list.
Belgium leads with 16.9% – almost the highest rate of Schengen visas not issued – which
conversely shows that the rate of Schengen visas issued by the Belgian Embassy is only
83.1% out of all applications received in the recent years –although still a satisfactory
percentage that I have put it in the bottom of list of easy countries to get visa too!
Ranking right after Belgium is Malta – with 14.8%, followed by Sweden 10.3%, Portugal
10.1%, France 9.6%, and Norway with a rate of 8.7%.
Subsequently come Spain and the Netherlands with an equal rate of visas not issued – 6.1%.
Switzerland reaches close to the top with 6.0%.
Moreover, the last but best-positioned is Slovakia with 5.8%, the lowest rate of visas
not issued among the list – implying you have a 94.2% chance of being granted the Schengen
Visa type you are looking for.
Be sure to make some time to analyze and organize your decision-making tactics and don’t forget:
keep your integrity up!
However, to start with the Easiest Countries to Get a Schengen Visa, I’d go for Lithuania
in the first place.
Especially, when I want to start my visa application procedure, I would start with smaller countries,
since I know that I would have a better chance of receiving my visa guaranteed.
Lithuania, officially the Republic of Lithuania, is a country in Europe’s Baltic region that
is one of the easiest to obtain a Schengen visa.
In total, 98.7% of those who applied for a Schengen Visa to Lithuania received a positive
response.
Furthermore, unlike other popular countries such as France and Germany, Lithuania receives
fewer applications, which means that if you apply for a visa for this country, you will
have a shorter wait time for an appointment.
Estonia Estonia, a Northern European country bordering
the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland, is also on the list of the easiest EU countries
to get a visa from.
According to recent data rejection rates, only 1.6% of applications lodged at Estonian
embassies abroad were rejected, while the rest were granted access to the Schengen Area
with a short-term visa.
Furthermore, Estonia is the sixth Schengen country with the fewest visa applications,
implying that its embassies are less crowded.
Finland Finland is a country in Northern Europe that
borders Sweden, Norway, and Russia.
With a lower rejection rate, obtaining a visa should not be a problem.
However, in order for your application to be accepted, you must provide proof of overseas
medical insurance.
Iceland Iceland, a Nordic Island nation, is also an
easy country to obtain a visa to the Schengen Area, with only 1.7% of applications rejected
in the recent years.
However, you should first check where you need to apply, as Iceland is mostly represented
by other countries and does not have a large number of consulates of its own.
This means that if the Icelandic consulate is busy, you may have to wait a little longer
for an appointment.
Latvia Latvia, the country on the Baltic Sea between
Lithuania and Estonia is another Schengen country from which it is easier to obtain
a Schengen visa.
According to reports, only 2.1% of the applications received were rejected, implying that you
have a good chance of getting a visa from this country.
Poland Poland, officially the Republic of Poland,
is a Central European country that is also easier to obtain a visa.
Despite a 0.9 difference with Latvia, applicants for a Schengen visa to Poland have a 97% chance
of being approved.
The Central European country had a visa rejection rate of only 3%.
Luxembourg Luxembourg, a small European country surrounded
by Belgium, France, and Germany, maybe the simplest way to enter Schengen, especially
if you intend to visit its neighbouring countries.
With only a 3.7% rejection rate Luxembourg, which is also the country with the fewest
applications, appears to be a good deal for Schengen visa applicants.
Slovakia Slovakia, officially the Slovak Republic,
is a landlocked country in Central Europe.
Those who apply for a Schengen visa at a Slovak consulate have a 95.8% chance of being approved.
Slovakia’s embassies abroad rejected only 4.2% of the total applications received making
it the fifth Schengen country with the fewest applications.
The Czech Republic The Czech Republic, also known as Czechia,
is a landlocked country in Central Europe that is also considered an easy country to
obtain a Schengen Visa.
The Czech Republic, in particular, has a visa approval rate of 95.3%.
Greece Greece, a country in southeastern Europe,
is the fifth most popular destination for short-term visitors to the Schengen area.
The Greek embassies abroad approved 95.1% of the applications received in the recent
year.
This places Greece among the countries where obtaining a Schengen Visa is simple.
Switzerland Switzerland is one of the most sought-after
tourist destinations in the world and is famed for the beautiful Swiss Alps and breathtaking
landscape.
And, with a lesser number of rejection rates, you can easily plan a Swiss trip without much
thinking.
the Bottom line I have for Schengen visa applicants is that
because the visa application process is the same for all countries, no country provides
an easier visa.
The speed with which a country responds to your visa application is what makes the difference;
for example, France is known to respond in the shortest amount of time when compared
to other countries the same as Italy.
Always carry your ID or passport when travelling in the Schengen area, as there are random
passport checks despite the absence of border controls.
Many Schengen countries require foreign nationals to carry proof of identity.
