Spain: visa decisions in Kazakhstan
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 19,674 | 17,976 | 1,503 | 7.7% | 15.0% |
| 2024 | 23,138 | 21,280 | 1,491 | 6.5% | 12.0% |
| 2025 | 25,020 | 22,476 | 1,550 | 6.4% | 12.3% |
In 2025, Spain’s embassy and consulates in Kazakhstan (Astana) received 25,020 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 22,476. The refusal rate was 6.4%. That is barely different from 2024 (6.5%). Applications rose by 8% compared with 2024 (23,138).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 9.1% of the applications lodged in Kazakhstan that year, from 1.6% at the consulates of Romania to 20.5% at those of Finland. Spain’s consulates worldwide refused 14.6%. Spain was the 3rd most applied-for Schengen state in Kazakhstan.
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 Kazakhstan, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
