Finland: visa decisions in Mozambique
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 135 | 124 | 9 | 6.8% | 34.7% |
| 2024 | 106 | 94 | 11 | 10.5% | 30.9% |
| 2025 | 127 | 118 | 8 | 6.3% | 25.4% |
In 2025, Finland’s embassy and consulates in Mozambique (Maputo) received 127 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 118. 6.3% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 10.5%: the rate fell by 4.1 points. Applications rose by 20% compared with 2024 (106).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 14.0% of the applications lodged in Mozambique that year, from 5.9% at the consulates of Spain to 20.4% at those of the Netherlands. Finland’s consulates worldwide refused 13.4%. Finland was the 7th most applied-for Schengen state in Mozambique.
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 Mozambique, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
