In 2025, Poland’s embassy and consulates in Chile (Santiago) received 2 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 2. Applications fell by 71% compared with 2024 (7).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 27.2% of the applications lodged in Chile that year. Poland’s consulates worldwide refused 15.8%. Poland was the 13th 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.
