Germany: visa decisions in Tajikistan
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 4,629 | 2,977 | 1,487 | 32.5% | 41.9% |
| 2024 | 4,019 | 2,433 | 1,444 | 36.3% | 33.2% |
| 2025 | 4,350 | 2,235 | 1,422 | 33.4% | 35.3% |
In 2025, Germany’s embassy and consulates in Tajikistan (Dushanbe) received 4,350 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 2,235. The refusal rate was 33.4%. The refusal rate fell by 2.9 points from 36.3% in 2024. Applications rose by 8% compared with 2024 (4,019).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 33.4% of the applications lodged in Tajikistan that year. Germany’s consulates worldwide refused 13.1%.
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 Tajikistan, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
