Greece: visa decisions in Cuba
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 263 | 230 | 28 | 10.9% | 40.0% |
| 2024 | 247 | 211 | 35 | 14.2% | 44.5% |
| 2025 | 299 | 241 | 55 | 18.6% | 56.0% |
In 2025, Greece’s embassy and consulates in Cuba (Havana) received 299 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 241. The refusal rate was 18.6%. The refusal rate rose by 4.4 points from 14.2% in 2024. Applications rose by 21% compared with 2024 (247).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 21.8% of the applications lodged in Cuba that year, from 11.6% at the consulates of Spain to 42.9% at those of Germany. Greece’s consulates worldwide refused 14.5%. Greece was the 12th most applied-for Schengen state in Cuba.
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 Cuba, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
