Greece: visa decisions in Hong Kong
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 31 | 31 | 0 | 0.0% | 22.6% |
In 2023, Greece’s embassy and consulates in Hong Kong (Hong Kong) received 31 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 31. 0.0% of applications were refused.
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 2.9% of the applications lodged in Hong Kong that year, from 0.3% at the consulates of Germany to 6.3% at those of Finland. Greece’s consulates worldwide refused 14.7%. Greece was the 12th most applied-for Schengen state in Hong Kong.
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 Hong Kong, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
