Hungary: visa decisions in Vietnam
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2,177 | 1,734 | 443 | 20.3% | 13.8% |
| 2024 | 3,386 | 2,871 | 515 | 15.2% | 12.2% |
| 2025 | 2,658 | 2,156 | 477 | 18.1% | 17.4% |
In 2025, Hungary’s embassy and consulates in Vietnam (Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City) received 2,658 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 2,156. The refusal rate was 18.1%. The refusal rate rose by 2.9 points from 15.2% in 2024. Applications fell by 22% compared with 2024 (3,386).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 9.4% of the applications lodged in Vietnam that year, from 3.6% at the consulates of Poland to 20.8% at those of Finland. Hungary’s consulates worldwide refused 13.0%. Hungary was the 9th most applied-for Schengen state in Vietnam.
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 Vietnam, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
