In response to a surge in Schengen visa rejections from Türkiye and growing political tensions, several European nations have announced temporary suspensions on visa applications from Turkish citizens.
Citing zdf.de, Ednews reports on the escalating rejection rates of Schengen visa applications from Türkiye, prompting some European countries to implement precautionary measures.
Despite Türkiye experiencing one of the highest rejection rates in Europe, nearing 20 percent, demand for visas to European Union countries continues to climb steadily.
As Türkiye grapples with soaring inflation, leading to unprecedented price hikes in goods and services, domestic tourists are opting for European vacations as a more affordable alternative.
Information obtained indicates that Spain, Italy, and Germany have halted visa appointments for Turkish citizens until the end of May, reflecting the evolving dynamics in Türkiye's relations with the European Union.
