Thanks God; at last our beloved country was spared from this list.
The list is ranked according to the total number of applications being rejected. There may not be as many Schengen applicants from Pakistan (I maybe wrong though). The list should have been based on rejection rate instead to have a complete sense of the overall picture i.e. how many applicants applied from various countries and how many applications were rejected from each country…that will give us a clear picture of our situation amongst the list of countries. The above statistics do not give us complete insight.
The Rejection percentage is given and you can do the maths to understand the quantum of applications received.
What will do with the percentage of rejection?, what math will be done if you don’t have the number of applied visas?, please explain
Are you talking for real? 🤣🤣🤣
For example Algeria
Rejection rate = 45.8%
Rejected visas / total application = 45.8%
Total application = rejected visas * 100 / application = 179,409 * 100 / 45.8
Totaapplication = 391,723

This report is fake. I think Pakistan is most rejection country for visa rejection in schengen state.
Nigeria is not a Muslim country, get your facts straight, we have Muslims in Nigeria, that doesn’t make us a Muslim nation.
Christianity is the largest religion in Nigeria.

Pakistan
