Germany: visa decisions in Paraguay
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 28 | 27 | 1 | 3.6% | 100.0% |
| 2024 | 28 | 23 | 5 | 17.9% | 100.0% |
| 2025 | 24 | 19 | 5 | 20.8% | – |
In 2025, Germany’s embassy and consulates in Paraguay (Asunción) received 24 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 19. 20.8% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 17.9%: the rate rose by 3.0 points. Applications fell by 14% compared with 2024 (28).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 18.5% of the applications lodged in Paraguay that year. Germany’s consulates worldwide refused 13.1%. Germany was the 3rd most applied-for Schengen state in Paraguay.
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 Paraguay, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
