|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 772 | 329 | 443 | 57.4% | 9.7% |

In 2025, the Czech Republic’s embassy and consulates in Ghana (Accra) received 906 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 255. 71.9% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 61.3%: the rate rose by 10.6 points, a sharp increase. Applications rose by 33% compared with 2024 (682).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 46.5% of the applications lodged in Ghana that year. the Czech Republic’s consulates worldwide refused 14.2%. The Czech Republic was the 11th most applied-for Schengen state in Ghana.
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 Ghana, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
