Germany: visa decisions in Trinidad and Tobago
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 154 | 145 | 8 | 5.2% | 57.2% |
| 2024 | 176 | 161 | 9 | 5.2% | 67.1% |
| 2025 | 174 | 154 | 17 | 9.9% | 70.8% |
In 2025, Germany’s embassy and consulates in Trinidad and Tobago (Port of Spain) received 174 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 154. The refusal rate was 9.9%. The refusal rate rose by 4.8 points from 5.2% in 2024. The number of applications was almost unchanged (176 in 2024).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 5.1% of the applications lodged in Trinidad and Tobago that year. Germany’s consulates worldwide refused 13.1%. Germany was the 2nd most applied-for Schengen state in Trinidad and Tobago.
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 Trinidad and Tobago, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
