Bulgaria issues Schengen visas at 2 locations in Spain; this office handled 50% of their 4 applications in 2025. Each office serves the applicants who live in its own consular district, so the rates also reflect who applies where, not only how strictly files are assessed.
Across all Schengen consulates in Spain, 13.1% of applications were refused in 2025; Bulgaria’s rate worldwide was 12.5%. Bulgaria received the 8th largest number of applications of the 13 Schengen states represented here.
Bulgaria only began issuing Schengen visas on 31 March 2024, so its 2024 figures cover part of the year. The statistics count applications, not people, and include every nationality that applies here, not only citizens of Spain.
