In 2025, Belgium’s embassy and consulates in Argentina (Buenos Aires) received 11 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 10. Applications fell by 31% compared with 2024 (16).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 11.1% of the applications lodged in Argentina that year. Belgium’s consulates worldwide refused 26.1%. Belgium was the 12th most applied-for Schengen state in Argentina.
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 Argentina, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
