Romania: visa decisions in Argentina
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 (part of the year) | 1 | 1 | 0 | – |
In 2024, Romania’s embassy and consulates in Argentina (Buenos Aires) received 1 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1.
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 18.1% of the applications lodged in Argentina that year. Romania’s consulates worldwide refused 9.4%. Romania was the 19th 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. Romania only began issuing Schengen visas on 31 March 2024, so its 2024 figures cover part of the year. The figures cover applications lodged in Argentina, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
