Norway: visa decisions in Kazakhstan
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 3,145 | 1,395 | 1,750 | 55.0% | 21.4% |
In 2023, Norway’s embassy and consulates in Kazakhstan (Astana) received 3,145 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,395. 55.0% of applications were refused.
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 9.0% of the applications lodged in Kazakhstan that year. Norway’s consulates worldwide refused 15.9%. Norway was the 12th 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.
