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 Ukraine, 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.

Do you need a Schengen visa at all?

Check your passport against all 29 Schengen countries and see what you need before you book anything.

Data: European Commission, DG Migration and Home Affairs — short-stay visas issued by the Schengen countries. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU. Figures are consulate aggregates for a completed calendar year and are not a guide to individual applications.
