Spain: visa decisions in Guinea
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 1,272 | 930 | 169 | 15.4% | 18.0% |
| 2024 | 1,315 | 794 | 304 | 27.0% | 12.1% |

In 2025, Spain’s embassy and consulates in Guinea (Conakry) received 1,266 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 785. The refusal rate was 25.8%. That is barely different from 2024 (27.0%). Applications fell by 4% compared with 2024 (1,315).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 52.1% of the applications lodged in Guinea that year. Spain’s consulates worldwide refused 14.6%. Spain was the 3rd most applied-for Schengen state in Guinea.
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 Guinea, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
