Spain: visa decisions in Bangladesh
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2,167 | 1,338 | 629 | 32.0% | 9.7% |
| 2024 | 3,084 | 1,868 | 825 | 30.6% | 10.2% |
| 2025 | 3,608 | 1,977 | 1,303 | 39.5% | 12.8% |
In 2025, Spain’s embassy and consulates in Bangladesh (Dhaka) received 3,608 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,977. 39.5% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 30.6%: the rate rose by 9.0 points, a sharp increase. Applications rose by 17% compared with 2024 (3,084).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 54.5% of the applications lodged in Bangladesh that year, from 27.8% at the consulates of Switzerland to 74.5% at those of Sweden. Spain’s consulates worldwide refused 14.6%. Spain was the 5th most applied-for Schengen state in Bangladesh.
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 Bangladesh, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
