Romania: visa decisions in Chile
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 (part of the year) | 2 | 2 | 0 | – |
In 2024, Romania’s embassy and consulates in Chile (Santiago) received 2 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 2.
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 23.2% of the applications lodged in Chile that year. Romania’s consulates worldwide refused 9.4%. Romania was the 15th 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. 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 Chile, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
