In 2025, Hungary’s embassy and consulates in Colombia (Bogotá) received 8 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 8. Applications fell by 53% compared with 2024 (17).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 10.0% of the applications lodged in Colombia that year. Hungary’s consulates worldwide refused 13.0%. Hungary was the 12th most applied-for Schengen state in Colombia.
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 Colombia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
