Sweden: visa decisions in Liberia
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 121 | 120 | 0 | 0.0% | 14.2% |
| 2024 | 125 | 122 | 1 | 0.8% | 18.0% |
| 2025 | 160 | 159 | 0 | 0.0% | 12.6% |
In 2025, Sweden’s embassy and consulates in Liberia (Monrovia) received 160 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 159. 0.0% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 0.8%. Applications rose by 28% compared with 2024 (125).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 0.0% of the applications lodged in Liberia that year. Sweden’s consulates worldwide refused 23.1%.
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 Liberia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
