Norway: visa decisions in Cuba
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 6 | 6 | 0 | – |
In 2023, Norway’s embassy and consulates in Cuba (Havana) received 6 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 6.
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 26.2% of the applications lodged in Cuba that year, from 5.9% at the consulates of Portugal to 50.8% at those of the Netherlands. Norway’s consulates worldwide refused 15.9%. Norway was the 16th most applied-for Schengen state in Cuba.
You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Cuba, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
