Belgium: visa decisions in Brazil
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 72 | 41 | 31 | 42.5% | 26.8% |
| 2024 | 42 | 24 | 16 | 40.0% | 41.7% |
| 2025 | 53 | 22 | 25 | 53.2% | 63.6% |
In 2025, Belgium’s embassy and consulates in Brazil (São Paulo) received 53 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 22. The refusal rate was 53.2%. The refusal rate rose by 13.2 points from 40.0% in 2024, a sharp increase. Applications rose by 26% compared with 2024 (42).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 23.6% of the applications lodged in Brazil that year, from 16.4% at the consulates of France to 57.0% at those of Portugal. Belgium’s consulates worldwide refused 26.1%. Belgium was the 9th most applied-for Schengen state in Brazil.
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 Brazil, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
