Poland: visa decisions in Colombia

|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2025 | 9 | 4 | 5 | – |
In 2025, Poland’s embassy and consulates in Colombia (Bogotá) received 9 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 4. Applications rose by 80% compared with 2023 (5).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 10.0% of the applications lodged in Colombia that year. Poland’s consulates worldwide refused 15.8%. Poland was the 11th 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.
