Germany: visa decisions in Mozambique
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 937 | 874 | 62 | 6.6% | 59.0% |
| 2024 | 945 | 843 | 64 | 6.8% | 65.2% |
| 2025 | 956 | 791 | 97 | 10.4% | 75.6% |
In 2025, Germany’s embassy and consulates in Mozambique (Maputo) received 956 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 791. 10.4% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 6.8%: the rate rose by 3.5 points. The number of applications was almost unchanged (945 in 2024).
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. Germany’s consulates worldwide refused 13.1%. Germany was the 5th 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.
