Equatorial Guinean citizens πŸ‡¬πŸ‡Ά Equatorial Guinean citizens Β· πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Germany Β· Tourist / Visitor # Germany tourist / visitor visa success rate for Equatorial Guinean citizens 67.5% of Schengen short-stay applications lodged in Equatorial Guinea were issued, down from 71.4% a year earlier, across 9,380 decisions in 2025. A Germany tourist visa is one of those β€” a uniform Schengen visa, valid across the whole area whichever state decides it. The European Commission's per-consulate table carries no separate row for Germany in Equatorial Guinea, so this area-wide rate is the closest published measure for this exact route, not a Germany-specific one. For the same nationality the UK approved 64.8% of tourist applications across 108 decisions. Officers assess whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time, and the biggest single lever is return intent. On the money side: No fixed daily amount β€” assessed case by case. Germany has deliberately not set a mandatory per-day reference amount. Border and consular officers assess each applicant individually against the cost of the planned stay, including the return journey. The estimator below weighs your own finances, ties, travel history and refusal record against that. Last reviewed August 2026 per our [editorial standards](https://getvisaodds.com/editorial-standards).

For Equatorial Guinean citizens applying, a tourist visa to Germany is decided mainly on whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time. Public statistics point to an approximate base approval of around 53% for this route β€” but your own profile can move that figure a lot in either direction. Published approval rates for Equatorial Guinea run at 31.4% on US visitor visas in FY2025 and 67.5% on Schengen short-stay applications in 2025. [Estimate my personal odds](#estimate) Modelled estimate β€” not official 53% Modelled estimate, not a published statistic β€” no Equatorial Guinean-specific rate is published for this route. Derived from EU/Schengen visa statistics (Germany); see the methodology page for every parameter. Your personal odds can be much higher or lower β€” estimate them below. ## Estimate your personal odds Pre-filled for this route. A few taps and it’s done β€” privately, in your browser. ## Key requirements - Passport valid 3+ months beyond departure and issued within the last 10 years - Completed application, photo, and biometrics - Travel medical insurance of at least €30,000 - Round-trip itinerary and confirmed accommodation - Proof of sufficient funds; €90 visa fee (2026) ### Visa fee (cost) €90 per adult, €45 for children 6–12, free under 6 β€” plus a service fee (typically €30–45) where an external centre (VFS/TLS) handles the application. ### Money & funds No fixed daily amount β€” assessed case by case. Germany has deliberately not set a mandatory per-day reference amount. Border and consular officers assess each applicant individually against the cost of the planned stay, including the return journey. ### Typical timeline Apply up to 6 months ahead and at least 15 days before travel; standard decisions take about 15 calendar days, occasionally up to 45. ## Common refusal reasons - Insufficient or unclear means of subsistence - Doubt about the purpose or intent to leave - Missing or insufficient travel medical insurance - Unjustified or inconsistent itinerary - Previous Schengen overstay or visa misuse ## Where Equatorial Guinea sits in the official data Two governments publish visa outcomes broken down by country. Neither predicts an individual decision, but together they show how Equatorial Guinean applicants fare relative to everyone else, and which of the destinations we cover currently refuses the fewest applications from Equatorial Guinea. ### UK tourist visas β€” year to March 2026 The UK is the only government that publishes outcomes by nationality _and_ visa type, so it is the one place a tourist-visa figure for Equatorial Guinea actually exists. **35.2%** of Equatorial Guinean tourist applications were refused across 108 decisions , against 27.2% the year before. Different country, different rules β€” a reference point, not your odds here. ### US visitor visas β€” FY2025 A **68.6%** adjusted refusal rate places Equatorial Guinea **184th of 199** nationalities the State Department publishes β€” a lower refusal rate than 8% of them. The median nationality sits at 31.8%, so Equatorial Guinea is 36.8 points above it. ### Schengen short-stay visas β€” 2025 Across all Schengen consulates in Equatorial Guinea, **32.5%** of short-stay applications were not issued β€” **101st of 127** countries with a meaningful application volume, and 16.9 points above the 15.6% median. |Destination|Refused|Issued|Decided| |-|-|-|-| |Spain|32%|68%|8,147| |France|35.4%|64.6%|1,233| Among Schengen states, applications lodged in Equatorial Guinea were refused least often by Spain at 32% and most often by France at 35.4% β€” a gap of 3.4 points on a like-for-like basis. That gap reflects who applies where as much as how strictly each state decides, so it is a starting point for choosing a main destination, not a ranking of leniency. You must still apply to the state where you will spend the most nights. Demand and outcome moved together for Equatorial Guinea between 2024 and 2025. Schengen consulates there decided **9,380** short-stay applications, against 9,232 the year before β€” up 1.6% β€” while the refusal rate went from 28.6% to 32.5%. Had 2024's rate held, roughly 362 of the 9,380 applicants refused in 2025 would have been issued a visa instead.

Schengen figures are grouped by the country an application was lodged in, not by passport. ## What actually moves the needle ### Strong ties to home β€” a stable job, family, or property This is the heart of tourist decisions for Germany. Make it concrete and documented rather than assumed. ### Funds that clearly cover the whole trip Officers weigh this alongside everything else β€” gather clear evidence before you apply. ### A specific, time-limited plan with bookings Officers weigh this alongside everything else β€” gather clear evidence before you apply. ### Context for Equatorial Guinea applicants Published approval rates for Equatorial Guinea run at 31.4% on US visitor visas in FY2025 and 67.5% on Schengen short-stay applications in 2025. Your personal profile matters far more than any nationality-level pattern, so focus on the levers above. ### Avoid the common pitfall The most frequent reason this route fails is a vague itinerary or thin finances that make your return look uncertain. Address it directly and you remove the biggest doubt. ## Frequently asked questions Is there an official Germany tourist visa success rate for Equatorial Guinean citizens? Not one we currently carry. We only print a rate when we hold the publisher's own figure for this nationality and this visa category, and we do not hold one for Germany tourist visas. The figure shown on this page is a modelled estimate built from published route-level data and your answers β€” we label it as such rather than presenting it as a government statistic. What you can act on is the documented requirement set below, which is what the decision actually turns on. What matters most for a Germany tourist visa? Officers focus on whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time. In practice the single biggest lever is return intent, so make that part of your application as strong and well-documented as possible. Does a previous visa refusal affect my chances? Yes. A prior refusal weighs on new applications until its underlying reason is addressed. Find out exactly why you were refused, fix what caused it, and clearly show what is different this time. Is this a guarantee of approval? No. GetVisaOdds is an educational planning tool, not legal advice and not a guarantee. Only a consular or immigration officer can decide your application. We show approximate odds and the reasons behind them so you can prepare better. Is my information private? Completely. The estimate runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are never sent to a server or stored β€” there is no sign-up and nothing to leak. How much is a Schengen visa in 2026? €90 for adults, €45 for children aged 6–12, and free for under-6s β€” the same across all Schengen countries. Service centres (e.g. VFS) may add a service fee. Which country do I apply to for a Schengen visa? The country of your main destination (most nights), or your first point of entry if the trip is evenly split. Is travel insurance mandatory for a Schengen visa? Yes. You need travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000 for the whole Schengen area and stay. How long can I stay on a Schengen visa? Up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period across the whole Schengen area. ## Explore related visa odds ### Official data - [How much money you need, by country](https://getvisaodds.com/data/schengen-visa-money-requirements) -
