📊 Realistic Bangladesh Approval Rate (Official Data)
Spain Schengen approval for Bangladeshi applicants runs approximately 55-65%. Complete documentation and clear travel purpose are key. Spain tends to be slightly more lenient than Germany for first-time Schengen applicants with strong files.
goFLY's difference: We decline 50+ weak applications every year during free consultations — because approval for us means selecting the right cases AND building the right documents. Our 90%+ rate on accepted cases is what happens AFTER our pre-assessment filters out high-risk profiles.
