Greece: visa decisions in Venezuela
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 1 | 1 | 0 | – |
In 2023, Greece’s embassy and consulates in Venezuela (Caracas) received 1 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1.
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 22.0% of the applications lodged in Venezuela that year. Greece’s consulates worldwide refused 14.7%. Greece was the 9th most applied-for Schengen state in Venezuela.
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 Venezuela, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
