Forty-five (45) African countries lost a total of €60 million — or $68 million — for their rejected Schengen visas in 2024, a TRT Afrika analysis of the 2024 State of Schengen Report reveals.

That amount ed for 41% of all the funds that Europe raised from Schengen visa rejections that year.

Algeria, which had 529,000 Schengen visa applications, had the highest number of rejections in Africa, at 185,000.

The rejection pattern was followed by Morocco, Egypt, Nigeria, Tunisia, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Cameroon and Kenya in that particular order.

Liberia had least rejected visa applications

Liberia, which had a total of 123 Schengen visa applications, had only one visa request rejected.

The other countries with less than 100 Schengen visa rejections were Mauritius, and Sao Tome and Principe.

Nearly half of the Schengen visa requests by the Senegalese, Nigerians and Ghanaians were rejected, with the three mentioned countries having more than 55,000 applications each.

The European Union raised more than €145 million — or $165 million — from all the rejected Schengen visa applications globally.

Africa ed for 22% of all Schengen visa rejections in 2024

At least 11.7 million people worldwide applied for Schengen visas, with Africa ing for around 2.6 million — or 22% of the applicants.

Out of nearly 1.7 million rejections globally, Africa ed for over 700,000.

The monies raised from Schengen visa rejections among Africans in 2024 increased by $14 million, from the previous year, when the European Union got $54 million from Africans' rejected applications.

A Schengen visa allows people from non-European Union — or allied countries — a short stay of up to 90 days in a six-month period.

Non-refundable

According to the EU, there are 29 countries within the Schengen zone today. They include Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Austria.

The Schengen visa fees are non-refundable, regardless of the outcome of one's application.

Currently, an adult is charged €90 ($100) for Schengen visa, while a child aged between 6 years and 12 years is charged €45 ($50) for the travel document.

Algeria lost nearly $18 million in the 2024 declined Schengen visa applications, followed by Morocco ($11 million); Egypt ($5 million); Nigeria ($4.9 million) and Tunisia ($3.7 million).

Reasons for visa rejections

Ghana lost $2.4 million, Kenya ($1.8 million), South Africa ($1.1 million), and Uganda (620,000 US dollars).

The EU says that the common reasons people are denied Schengen visas include questionable criminal record, false documents, unclear reasons for the visit, insufficient funds, unauthenticated certificate of birth or marriage, and failure to present proof of accommodation.

Visa processing normally takes between 15 and 45 days.

Below is the full list of the Schengen visa applications from African countries in 2024, and the number of rejections, and the estimated lost funds.

Another sleeping in the traffic for hours loading 😴.

Most of these bridges linking the Mainland to the Island were built during the Military regimes and are getting weaker structurally year by year.

This Civilian govt ought to have built a new bridge(s) linking the mainland and the island instead of wasting money on the Calabar-Lagos Highway. Lagos is still the biggest commercial hub and generates millions in taxes to FG.

They only focuses on projects that will fetch money into their pockets. Just like Buhari wasted funds on Nigeria 🇳🇬 to 🇳🇪 Niger train lane projects.

In term of projects, the Military regimes did far better than civilian rule.. Democracy is looking like demonstration of craze like BABA Fela says.

dominique:


Arsenal can't meet PSG at semis. Whoever wins between Arsenal and Madrid will need whoever wins between inter and Bayern

Modified

Arsenal defeated PSG in the league stage so what are we saying here?

For your information below 👇

Die today raise tomorrow. I know one day, monkey go go Market and will never return.

Nigeria will serve.

Heavy weight fight, let see who blink first.

Like BABA Fela says: Crazy Demo, demonstration of crazy na Democracy be that oooo.

You returned because you miss power. Simple as that, not because you love service or are saint.

They are all the same. Who thought Oshiomole will be this f**list. him when he was NLC president.

BadBradley:
you're as late as your mother's gonorrhoeal-infested menstrual cycle.

You should start showing some respect because I could have been your father if I didn't have to wait in that village long queue for my turn with your mother.

So sad, I have been very busy lately but don't worry, I will still find time to reign causes on your generation till you die. I know on or before December 28th, you obituary will be announced on Nairaland but will not make it to the front page. 😉 Ewu... bring it on.

BadBradley:
you haven't thrown one punch that landed yet since I began scalping you like a market thief.

If your mother had been carefully selective of who she spreads her wriggled laps for, she would have selected something bettee for a father for you.

But she's a combination of hoe and low and judging from your lack of wits, intellectual sterility and inability to band words together, your daddy must have had the cognitive abilities of a mountain goat .

Oribu tiba. Werey tobi ni omo ni mo pity. Your kind of person would live a lonely life for the rest of your life because the only joy you derive, its you behind your phone and computer. I just pity what will be left of you if you ever attain old age. You can't even attain it, because you will die a premature death.

BadBradley:
the hissing sounds of a headless, dying snake

See the confession, " I am not moved by your caused ..." but who asked you? Wait for the priest to make your confession.

And it's curse not cause

While your parents were fawking like wild rabbits without exchanging first names, they never paused to give you basic education.

Son of the damned!!!

Son of bitch.. Mr slowpoke! I am your nemesis and I will chock you till you get sense on this platform. You are waste product that was fortunate to be born alive. You lack of care and love causes your nuisance on this faceless forum. You will not see the end of this year. slowpoke

BadBradley:
your father was a career village yam thief and our mother was the community sperm receptacle.

You see the son of a thousand drunken fathers who stood in a long queue waiting for their turn

I am not moved by your caused a bit because all you have been typing has no colloration with me.. but I know for sure that you are a slowpoke and an slowpoke who hid himself behind phone to troll people and you have met your matched. I will be the last you ever encounter issues with. Omo ale jati jati. Bring it on. The day you stop will be the day you die.

BadBradley:
the only place we need to go back to is time. Travelling back in time when you were still part of your mother's diseased ovarian cyst and ensure you are flushed out as part of her gonorrhoeal infested menstrual cycle

Seeing how you turned out, a barely literate cultist with no craft or trade, I know she's regretting not flushing out with the cheapest abortion pills

Oloribuku ni e se. Omo Iran Kiran. Your nemesis has just began. The beginning of the end for you... slowpoke

BadBradley:
does someone need to see you physically to know you're suffering from intellectual dwarfism when you have been struggling with simple sentence construction and grammar here?

But I get it, you think intellectual dwarfism has to do with your physical height

Your mother must have picked the dullest village drunk to sire you. What a waste of birth!!!!

And you, a curse , is the product of their union and fruit of their marriage?

You're definitely the manifestation of their punishment

Now, you going back to the dictionary to check the meaning of your grammar 🙄. You thought everybody is a dullard like you slowpoke. Using grammatical does not make you intellectual, it just prove how insecure you really are in real life. You parents did a disservice to the nation called Nigeria. You should have be cut off when you became an embryo. Bring it on, Idiotic fellow

BadBradley:
you have run for refuge in your mother's tongue.

Ewa bastard

Your mother's poor marital choice is manifest in your intellectual dwarfism.

You are just typing nonsense 🙄. You are qualifying someone you have never seen with dwarfism and you expect that person to be pained by that. I said it you are a slow poke. All the grammatical words you are lifting from the dictionary has no significance pain to me because you are misusing it all. Only a mental deranged person which you inherited from you harlots of a mother behaves this way. Bring it on idiotic fellow

BadBradley:


Brainless drug addict!!!! How can one's offspring bring one into the world?

Isn't it the reverse?

Now you see why people like you with mental handicap advocate for military rule?

Your father couldn't even take advantage of universal free basic education and haul his brain dead projection onto the path of formal education but left you here to showcase how interior his bloodlines are

Your life is a waste of your mother's 9 months of labour and your father's 5 minutes exertion to project his weak chromosomes into that dumb sperm bank called your mother to produce a psychotic, human debris called MosakuAW

Oloribuku omo ale jati jati. Baba ati olosho iya to bi, oni jare re. I've wakati to ku ni nu odun lo'ma balo to'mo ati aya, if at all you have one. You end is near and I will be here waiting till your R.I.P hit the front page on nairaland. Bring it on, Mr slowpoke

BadBradley:
started a marathon?

You're already itting that you can't throw a strong punch but rather relying on who has the last post to declare the winner.

This is how we know those born and nurtured by absentee fathers and frustrated single mothers.

I will skank your with more force than your libertine father had ever been able to f*uck your vulver-itching , low-hygiene mother

Throw in the towel for a foolish person like you. Never in my life time. Your type always think they deserve the last straw, not in my dictionary 😒 You started it, and you will die here till we Bury you foolish offspring that brought a rat like you to this word. Bring in on

BadBradley:
you're a troll apprentice who never learnt the art. ..we have been practicing this art when your mother was still a road side whorre catching random dicks, hoping for an idiot to put her into early retirement and that's when your daddy showed up

Dude, you can't survive this. You just started a marathon that you can not finished. You are waste to this generation. I know you are a Genz and need to be tame. Wasted sperm of a useless generation. 😒. Bring it on

BadBradley:
your comments are filled with complaints.

Maybe your father should have ejaculated you into his pit latrine and spare your mother's weak, abused ovum the labour or conceiving the world's greatest dullard who can't write a simple sentence at 35 years of age.

And the village trollop you call mother is still receiving random sperm from drunken village dregs to flagellate and produce another troubled soul like MosakuAW

Funny you. So you can continue the use of the emoji. Now, I know what get to you so badly. Your drunkard father that you left at the village will come to town to carry your wasted body after you might have long gone from the drugs that is after you. slowpoke, bring it on.

BadBradley:
laughing emoji is same as lip emoji you posted?

Your father's zinc-deficient sperm mixed with your mother's diseased ovum must have made you born with brain lesion.

When she opened her legs for a village yam thief, the result is MosakuAW, a human millipede with the brainpower of a toilet fly

Wasted sperm! You are just mental deranged and you need psychological evaluation to determine your level of sickness or your daily intake "Canadian loud" is the problem. Bring it on! You have met your size on this forum. I will keep reigning causes on your generation and the next gen to come.

BadBradley:
says a doofus advocating for military rule.

Your mother would have deleted your existence if you were a text on her phone.

And to think you have great difficulties in grammar and sentence construction.

The only way your existence will be worth anything is to not leave your inferior DNA footprint behind after your unproductive life must have come to its bleak end!

I thought you said, me making use of the emoji looks childish! Why use it back at me? Definitely, the emoji 🤪 got to your skull. You mama was a wasted 👩 woman. She did Nigerian wrong by birthing you. You were suppose to be a wasted sperm or a miscarriage

BadBradley:
I see you're posting lengthier responses now.....you have nothing to offer your generation or humanity.

Your kids if you have any would be lucky if they don't inherit your subpar IQ and inferior cognitive abilities.

Your kind of person are keyboard warriors with mental disorder who can only hide behind their phone and computer with low self esteem.

You are mentally challenged and I pity your father because your prostitute mother gave him stupid slowpoke like you as a child.

You will die soon and this forum will have rest. Bring it on.

BadBradley:
Your future is as bleak as your writing abilities.

The emboldened words mirror how disted and disorganised your life and existence have been.

You shouldn't be here or have any opinion. You're a big, huge ZERO.

Save up your data subscription and channel it into rearing pigs.

I don't see an olodo like you succeeding in any trade or craft with your level of illiteracy.

Olodo!!!! This why you were advocating for military rule. blBrainless tout.

Human waste!

Correcting my grammatical/typing errors does not make me less of a man but you are useless because of the path you choose to troy people online. I have checked you profile and replies to comments, you are a nuisance to everyone. I am not the first but I will be your last to tackle on this faceless forum.

A mad man like you need to be chained down or tame for the rest of his life. You are useless to you generation and your parent did a greater mistake of bringing you to life because you are a wasted sperm . Bring it on..... Oloriburuku omo ale jati jati.

BadBradley:
This drooling dog is actually begging for the last word.

Insipid criminals like you should be given public execution.

Homeless dog

What happen to your dictionary, shey the big words you extract from it don finished. If causing you will make me a criminal, then I prefer to be sentences life because I will be your nemesis till you die. Werey Alaso. I am here for you, if I beg you for the last word make I bend. Iron Don jam iron, bring it on. Next time you learn to respect people's opinion and move on when their comments does not sit with you. Oloribuku ewu omo.

BadBradley:
yeah, you knew it will get to me because we're friends and I made your wife leave you.

See how cheap and stupid and weak you sound just to make yourself look less stupid.

Faggott

Mad man still still dey reply When you win the race for stupidity 🙄 🤦 let me know. Olori'bu

BadBradley:
you're the dumbest person I have engaged for years.

I thought you're a grandpa, why are you using emojis like a prepubescent female?

No wonder you need military rule.

Quivering faggoott

I knew the emoji will get to you in a hard way. Pele, Mr Ewure

BadBradley:
drooling Imbecillic dweeb with the cognition of an 11 year-old.

That very phone in your hands is the very instrument that diagnosed you, psychoanalyse you and still published your lunacy to the public.

Gutter-bred criminal!!!

Intellectual cockroach!!!

Just my little insult to reset your brain 🧠 😒, make you go carry dictionary to reply It shows that the insult actually reset your medulla oblongata. Sorry, Ewu.

BadBradley:


I love military rule because you cannot see anyone as head of state above the age of 60

This is the kind of comment you get when an Ariaria motor park ticket tout eventually discovers the internet.

Ekpa!!!

Don't go and look for pirated DVDs to sell.

Imbe!!!!

I know your type! Keypad warrior. slowpoke of Nairaland. Ewu
