Norway: visa decisions in Egypt
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 1 | 1 | 0 | – |
In 2025, Norway’s embassy and consulates in Egypt (Cairo) received 1 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1.
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 24.2% of the applications lodged in Egypt that year, from 4.4% at the consulates of Romania to 50.9% at those of Sweden. Norway’s consulates worldwide refused 15.7%. Norway was the 26th most applied-for Schengen state in Egypt.
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 Egypt, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
