Italy: visa decisions in Sudan
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 277 | 162 | 107 | 38.6% | 25.9% |
In 2023, Italy’s embassy and consulates in Sudan (Khartoum) received 277 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 162. 38.6% of applications were refused.
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 42.3% of the applications lodged in Sudan that year. Italy’s consulates worldwide refused 12.0%. Italy was the 5th most applied-for Schengen state in Sudan.
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 Sudan, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
