Germany: visa decisions in Kyrgyzstan
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 12,236 | 10,996 | 1,162 | 9.5% | 20.4% |
| 2024 | 13,985 | 12,734 | 1,170 | 8.4% | 20.2% |
| 2025 | 14,743 | 13,399 | 1,191 | 8.1% | 24.3% |
In 2025, Germany’s embassy and consulates in Kyrgyzstan (Bishkek) received 14,743 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 13,399. The refusal rate was 8.1%. That is barely different from 2024 (8.4%). Applications rose by 5% compared with 2024 (13,985).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 11.0% of the applications lodged in Kyrgyzstan that year. Germany’s consulates worldwide refused 13.1%. Germany was the most applied-for Schengen state in Kyrgyzstan.
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 Kyrgyzstan, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
