Germany: visa decisions in Cambodia
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 3,561 | 3,201 | 332 | 9.4% | 65.0% |
| 2024 | 3,373 | 2,913 | 454 | 13.5% | 59.5% |
| 2025 | 2,106 | 1,818 | 268 | 12.8% | 61.7% |
In 2025, Germany’s embassy and consulates in Cambodia (Phnom Penh) received 2,106 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,818. 12.8% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 13.5%. Applications fell by 38% compared with 2024 (3,373).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 17.6% of the applications lodged in Cambodia that year. Germany’s consulates worldwide refused 13.1%. Germany was the 2nd most applied-for Schengen state in Cambodia.
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 Cambodia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
