Nationalities Facing the Most Challenges in Obtaining a Polish Visa
Obtaining a Polish visa can be challenging for certain nationalities, as rejection rates vary significantly based on applicants' country of origin. Below is a detailed overview of the nationalities that faced the highest rejection rates when applying for Polish visas in 2023.
Countries With the Highest Visa Rejection Rates in 2023

Furthermore, only 6.33% (51 visas) of the approved applications were for multiple entry visas (MEVs), indicating additional challenges for Angolan nationals. -
Syria

Countries With the Most Rejected Applications in 2023
Although certain nationalities had higher rejection rates, others had the highest number of rejected applications due to the sheer volume of submissions:
-
Belarus
Belarusian nationals filed 35,550 applications, out of which 4,097 visas were rejected (11.52% rejection rate). This made Belarus the country with the most rejected Polish visa applications. -
India
India recorded the second-highest number of rejections, with 2,288 out of 11,954 applications denied, resulting in a rejection rate of 19.14%. -
China
Chinese nationals filed 13,663 applications, with 1,974 rejections, accounting for a rejection rate of 14.44%. -

Turkey
Turkish nationals filed 9,510 applications, and 1,270 (13.35%) were rejected, making Turkey one of the countries with the highest number of rejected applications.
Key Observations
- Nationals from Angola, Syria, and Ethiopia faced the highest rejection rates percentage-wise, indicating specific challenges in securing Polish visas.
- Belarus, India, and China had the largest number of rejected applications due to the high volume of visa requests.
- For Brazilian residents and other countries with exemptions, foreigners living within these nations still face significant challenges when applying for Schengen visas.
These statistics highlight the disparities in visa approval rates and underline the importance of robust and thorough documentation when applying for a Polish visa.
