Spain: visa decisions in Oman
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 6,439 | 5,437 | 865 | 13.7% | 72.6% |
| 2024 | 7,357 | 6,264 | 792 | 11.2% | 78.5% |
| 2025 | 9,539 | 7,506 | 1,494 | 16.6% | 80.6% |
In 2025, Spain’s embassy and consulates in Oman (Muscat) received 9,539 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 7,506. 16.6% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 11.2%: the rate rose by 5.4 points, a sharp increase. Applications rose by 30% compared with 2024 (7,357).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 10.5% of the applications lodged in Oman that year. Spain’s consulates worldwide refused 14.6%. Spain was the 3rd most applied-for Schengen state in Oman.
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 Oman, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
