Spain: visa decisions in Tunisia
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 12,850 | 7,748 | 4,507 | 36.7% | 17.7% |
| 2024 | 7,577 | 4,986 | 2,169 | 30.1% | 14.4% |
| 2025 | 7,346 | 4,769 | 2,049 | 30.0% | 17.2% |
In 2025, Spain’s embassy and consulates in Tunisia (Tunis) received 7,346 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 4,769. 30.0% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 30.1%. Applications fell by 3% compared with 2024 (7,577).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 19.6% of the applications lodged in Tunisia that year, from 15.4% at the consulates of France to 46.3% at those of the Czech Republic. Spain’s consulates worldwide refused 14.6%. Spain was the 4th most applied-for Schengen state in Tunisia.
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 Tunisia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
