Czech Republic: visa decisions in Chile
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 38 | 21 | 15 | 41.7% | 19.0% |
| 2024 | 13 | 11 | 2 | – | – |
| 2025 | 20 | 19 | 1 | 5.0% | – |
In 2025, the Czech Republic’s embassy and consulates in Chile (Santiago) received 20 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 19. 5.0% of applications were refused. Applications rose by 54% compared with 2024 (13).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 27.2% of the applications lodged in Chile that year. the Czech Republic’s consulates worldwide refused 14.2%. The Czech Republic was the 9th most applied-for Schengen state in Chile.
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 Chile, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
