Hungary: visa decisions in Ivory Coast
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 1,006 | 419 | 587 | 58.3% | 15.3% |
In 2023, Hungary’s embassy and consulates in Ivory Coast (Abidjan) received 1,006 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 419. The refusal rate was 58.3%.
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 34.5% of the applications lodged in Ivory Coast that year. Hungary’s consulates worldwide refused 15.1%. Hungary was the 7th most applied-for Schengen state in Ivory Coast.
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 Ivory Coast, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
