Italy: visa decisions in Mongolia
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2,029 | 1,762 | 267 | 13.2% | 34.4% |
| 2024 | 2,180 | 2,060 | 116 | 5.3% | 36.9% |
| 2025 | 2,163 | 2,031 | 132 | 6.1% | 36.5% |
In 2025, Italy’s embassy and consulates in Mongolia (Ulaanbaatar) received 2,163 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 2,031. 6.1% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 5.3%. The number of applications was almost unchanged (2,180 in 2024).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 14.9% of the applications lodged in Mongolia that year, from 4.6% at the consulates of Hungary to 32.8% at those of the Czech Republic. Italy’s consulates worldwide refused 10.8%. Italy was the 4th most applied-for Schengen state in Mongolia.
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 Mongolia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
