Hungary: visa decisions in Kazakhstan
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 10,311 | 9,730 | 581 | 5.6% | 33.5% |
| 2024 | 10,944 | 10,255 | 689 | 6.3% | 28.2% |
| 2025 | 10,277 | 9,444 | 768 | 7.5% | 38.9% |
In 2025, Hungary’s embassy and consulates in Kazakhstan (Almaty) received 10,277 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 9,444. 7.5% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 6.3%. Applications fell by 6% compared with 2024 (10,944).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 9.1% of the applications lodged in Kazakhstan that year, from 1.6% at the consulates of Romania to 20.5% at those of Finland. Hungary’s consulates worldwide refused 13.0%. Hungary was the 6th most applied-for Schengen state in Kazakhstan.
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 Kazakhstan, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
