What these numbers show — and what they do not

The European Commission publishes one row per consulate: the Schengen state that runs it, the country and city it sits in, and how many uniform short-stay (type C) visas were applied for, issued and refused there in a calendar year.

The country dimension is where an application was filed, which is roughly where the applicant lives. It is not the applicant's nationality — the dataset contains no nationality information at all. So these figures cannot say how often citizens of a given country are refused, and they cannot predict how any individual application will be decided.

Questions about this data

No. These are applications filed at consulates in Myanmar (Burma), by residents of any nationality. The European Commission's data does not record what passport applicants hold, so it cannot say anything about the refusal rate for a particular nationality.
