  "note": "European Commission visa statistics for consulates in the UAE. Schengen (uniform) visas only, airport transit visas left out. Issued includes multiple entry visas. The not issued rate is not issued divided by issued, limited territorial validity and not issued visas. The 2024 figures for Bulgaria and Romania leave out their national short-stay visas until 31 March 2024, so their change compares different things.",
