Greece: visa decisions in Montenegro
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 247 | 245 | 0 | 0.0% | 65.3% |
| 2024 | 380 | 351 | 25 | 6.6% | 53.3% |
| 2025 | 495 | 487 | 7 | 1.4% | 39.0% |
In 2025, Greece’s embassy and consulates in Montenegro (Podgorica) received 495 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 487. The refusal rate was 1.4%. The refusal rate fell by 5.2 points from 6.6% in 2024, a clear improvement for applicants. Applications rose by 30% compared with 2024 (380).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 9.1% of the applications lodged in Montenegro that year, from 3.4% at the consulates of Germany to 14.1% at those of Croatia. Greece’s consulates worldwide refused 14.5%. Greece was the 4th most applied-for Schengen state in Montenegro.
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 Montenegro, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
