Spain: visa decisions in the Philippines
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 22,922 | 21,527 | 1,356 | 5.9% | 18.1% |
| 2024 | 26,739 | 24,714 | 1,835 | 6.9% | 20.9% |
| 2025 | 28,189 | 26,732 | 1,143 | 4.1% | 29.7% |
In 2025, Spain’s embassy and consulates in the Philippines (Manila) received 28,189 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 26,732. 4.1% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 6.9%: the rate fell by 2.8 points. Applications rose by 5% compared with 2024 (26,739).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 6.9% of the applications lodged in the Philippines that year, from 3.8% at the consulates of the Netherlands to 22.3% at those of the Czech Republic. Spain’s consulates worldwide refused 14.6%. Spain was the 4th most applied-for Schengen state in the Philippines.
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 the Philippines, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
