Spain: visa decisions in Cameroon
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 1,508 | 925 | 516 | 35.8% | 12.3% |
| 2024 | 1,200 | 719 | 452 | 38.6% | 22.5% |
| 2025 | 1,309 | 704 | 476 | 39.1% | 27.1% |
In 2025, Spain’s embassy and consulates in Cameroon (Yaoundé) received 1,309 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 704. 39.1% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 38.6%. Applications rose by 9% compared with 2024 (1,200).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 40.3% of the applications lodged in Cameroon that year, from 19.1% at the consulates of Germany to 58.6% at those of Italy. Spain’s consulates worldwide refused 14.6%. Spain was the 6th most applied-for Schengen state in Cameroon.
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 Cameroon, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
