Spain: visa decisions in Pakistan
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 18,482 | 6,067 | 9,766 | 60.4% | 9.8% |
| 2024 | 15,396 | 5,108 | 6,686 | 56.0% | 15.9% |
| 2025 | 12,296 | 4,269 | 5,600 | 55.5% | 18.8% |
In 2025, Spain’s embassy and consulates in Pakistan (Islamabad) received 12,296 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 4,269. The refusal rate was 55.5%. That is barely different from 2024 (56.0%). Applications fell by 20% compared with 2024 (15,396).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 45.9% of the applications lodged in Pakistan that year, from 24.2% at the consulates of Germany to 78.7% at those of Denmark. Spain’s consulates worldwide refused 14.6%. Spain was the 3rd most applied-for Schengen state in Pakistan.
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 Pakistan, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
