Schengen visas in Russia: what the numbers say
In 2025, people in Russia made 679,000 Schengen visa requests. Here’s what those numbers tell you before you apply.
1 How hard is it?
Almost everyone who applies gets the visa. The hard part is getting the appointment.
2 Which country do you apply to?
Apply to the country where you’ll spend the most nights. If the nights are equal, apply to the one you enter first.
+ 20 other countries: 12%
Most requests: Italy (25%), then France (25%). Tap a country to ask me for its appointment.
3 What are your chances?
Average: 6%
Lowest: Netherlands (0.9%). Highest: Greece (11%).
Common reasons for a refusal: the purpose of the trip wasn’t clear, not enough money for the stay, or doubts that you’ll go back home. Bring proof for all three.
4 Can you get a multi-entry visa?
Average: 28%
Most often: Netherlands (70%). Least often: Spain (2%).
A multi-entry visa lets you come back many times while it’s valid. Since November 2025, Russian citizens who apply in Russia usually get a single-entry visa. The chart shows 2025.
5 Where do you apply?
You apply in the city that covers where you live. Not every country takes requests in every city.
6 Is it getting harder?
Requests went up 19% since 2023. More people now try for each appointment.
7 When should you start?
- Up to 6 months before your trip The earliest you can apply.
- Get your appointment The hard part. I get it for you.
- 15 days before your trip Usually the latest you can apply.
- About 15 days The usual wait for an answer. It can take up to 45.
The visa costs €90 for adults and €45 for children aged 6 to 11. Children under 6 pay nothing. The visa centre adds its own service fee.

Questions
Chat on Telegram- I can’t find a free date for Italy or Spain in Moscow. Can you help?
- Yes, ask me. Pick Italy or Spain, then tap Russia for where you live. I ask the rest when I write to you.
- I live in St Petersburg, Kazan or Yekaterinburg. Can I ask too?
- Yes. You can ask from any city in Russia. The form does not ask for your city.
- I run a travel agency. Can you take all my clients?
- Yes. Pick “My clients”, then how many clients you have a month. Many clients for one country help me start it sooner.
- I need Greece or Hungary, not Italy. Can I ask?
- Yes, ask me. Pick the one you need in the form. If enough people ask for it, I start it. The first to ask are first in line.
- Do you get me the visa?
- No. I get you the appointment. The embassy decides.
- How much does it cost?
- Asking is free. The price is per person, and I tell you before anything.
- When do I pay?
- Only after you get the appointment. Once it’s booked, it can’t be cancelled.
- Which countries?
- Any. Popular routes open first, so ask now to get in line.
- Is this legit?
- VisasBot is independent, not an embassy. 4.9 on Trustpilot from 1,900+ reviews.
- Who are you?
- The owner of VisasBot. I answer every message myself.
