Spain: visa decisions in Namibia
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 1,461 | 1,323 | 71 | 5.1% | 5.5% |
| 2024 | 1,441 | 1,303 | 92 | 6.6% | 9.6% |
| 2025 | 1,464 | 1,343 | 42 | 3.0% | 9.2% |
In 2025, Spain’s embassy and consulates in Namibia (Windhoek) received 1,464 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,343. The refusal rate was 3.0%. The refusal rate fell by 3.6 points from 6.6% in 2024. The number of applications was almost unchanged (1,441 in 2024).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 3.0% of the applications lodged in Namibia that year, from 2.9% at the consulates of Germany to 3.5% at those of Finland. Spain’s consulates worldwide refused 14.6%. Spain was the 2nd most applied-for Schengen state in Namibia.
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 Namibia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
