Hungary: visa decisions in Lebanon
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 448 | 322 | 126 | 28.1% | 27.3% |
| 2024 | 596 | 443 | 153 | 25.3% | 24.6% |
| 2025 | 513 | 404 | 108 | 21.1% | 30.2% |
In 2025, Hungary’s embassy and consulates in Lebanon (Beirut) received 513 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 404. The refusal rate was 21.1%. The refusal rate fell by 4.3 points from 25.3% in 2024. Applications fell by 14% compared with 2024 (596).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 17.3% of the applications lodged in Lebanon that year, from 4.6% at the consulates of Bulgaria to 38.6% at those of Germany. Hungary’s consulates worldwide refused 13.0%. Hungary was the 15th most applied-for Schengen state in Lebanon.
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 Lebanon, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
