Spain: visa decisions in Serbia
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 1,194 | 1,050 | 93 | 8.1% | 1.3% |
| 2024 | 2,591 | 2,239 | 265 | 10.6% | 0.6% |
| 2025 | 1,981 | 1,829 | 76 | 4.0% | 0.4% |
In 2025, Spain’s embassy and consulates in Serbia (Belgrade) received 1,981 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,829. The refusal rate was 4.0%. The refusal rate fell by 6.6 points from 10.6% in 2024, a clear improvement for applicants. Applications fell by 24% compared with 2024 (2,591).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 5.7% of the applications lodged in Serbia that year, from 1.1% at the consulates of Greece to 16.9% at those of Croatia. Spain’s consulates worldwide refused 14.6%. Spain was the 3rd most applied-for Schengen state in Serbia.
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 Serbia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
