Hungary: visa decisions in Ghana
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 1,415 | 812 | 603 | 42.6% | 29.7% |
| 2024 | 2,386 | 1,723 | 663 | 27.8% | 36.8% |

In 2025, Hungary’s embassy and consulates in Ghana (Accra) received 2,869 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,682. 40.6% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 27.8%: the rate rose by 12.8 points, a sharp increase. Applications rose by 20% compared with 2024 (2,386).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 46.5% of the applications lodged in Ghana that year, from 33.5% at the consulates of Germany to 71.9% at those of the Czech Republic. Hungary’s consulates worldwide refused 13.0%. Hungary was the 7th 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.
