In 2025, Hungary’s embassy and consulates in Turkey (Istanbul and Ankara) received 35,605 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 28,923. The refusal rate was 18.3%. That is barely different from 2024 (19.0%). Applications rose by 18% compared with 2024 (30,302).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 14.6% of the applications lodged in Turkey that year, from 3.5% at the consulates of Portugal to 35.5% at those of Lithuania. Hungary’s consulates worldwide refused 13.0%. Hungary was the 9th most applied-for Schengen state in Turkey.

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 Turkey, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
