This high rejection rate is part of a larger pattern that has seen applicants from several African and South Asian countries struggle with Spanish visa approvals.

While many nationalities have faced rejections, Pakistan’s figures are particularly striking, drawing attention to the challenges specific regions face in securing visas for popular Schengen destinations like Spain.
