Germany: visa decisions in Indonesia
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 25,362 | 23,332 | 1,812 | 7.2% | 95.5% |
| 2024 | 18,697 | 17,268 | 1,295 | 7.0% | 98.1% |
| 2025 | 15,010 | 14,072 | 737 | 5.0% | 100.0% |
In 2025, Germany’s embassy and consulates in Indonesia (Jakarta) received 15,010 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 14,072. 5.0% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 7.0%: the rate fell by 2.0 points. Applications fell by 20% compared with 2024 (18,697).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 5.2% of the applications lodged in Indonesia that year, from 0.0% at the consulates of Austria to 10.1% at those of Croatia. Germany’s consulates worldwide refused 13.1%. Germany was the 6th most applied-for Schengen state in Indonesia.
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 Indonesia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
