Schengen consulates refused 29.1% of short-stay applications made in Sri Lanka in 2025 — the worldwide rate was 14.6%.
Refusal rates vary widely between consulates in the same country. Strong documentation — especially financial proof and a detailed cover letter — is what you control. Every item below matters.
