Italy: visa decisions in Paraguay
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 20 | 19 | 1 | 5.0% | – |
| 2024 | 15 | 13 | 2 | – | – |
| 2025 | 33 | 33 | 0 | 0.0% | 36.4% |
In 2025, Italy’s embassy and consulates in Paraguay (Asunción) received 33 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 33. 0.0% of applications were refused. Applications rose by 120% compared with 2024 (15).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 18.5% of the applications lodged in Paraguay that year. Italy’s consulates worldwide refused 10.8%. Italy was the 2nd 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.
