Spain: visa decisions in Angola
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 5,498 | 3,397 | 1,907 | 36.0% | 7.1% |
| 2024 | 5,228 | 2,965 | 1,901 | 39.1% | 8.3% |
| 2025 | 4,207 | 1,897 | 1,985 | 51.1% | 8.9% |
In 2025, Spain’s embassy and consulates in Angola (Luanda) received 4,207 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,897. 51.1% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 39.1%: the rate rose by 12.1 points, a sharp increase. Applications fell by 20% compared with 2024 (5,228).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 45.4% of the applications lodged in Angola that year, from 28.2% at the consulates of Italy to 75.4% at those of Hungary. Spain’s consulates worldwide refused 14.6%. Spain was the 2nd most applied-for Schengen state in Angola.
You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Angola, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
