Hungary: visa decisions in Ecuador

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 1,119 | 877 | 242 | 21.6% | 51.2% |

In 2025, Hungary’s embassy and consulates in Ecuador (Quito) received 1,003 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 609. The refusal rate was 38.2%. The refusal rate fell by 2.5 points from 40.8% in 2024. Applications fell by 11% compared with 2024 (1,131).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 30.9% of the applications lodged in Ecuador that year. Hungary’s consulates worldwide refused 13.0%. Hungary was the 6th most applied-for Schengen state in Ecuador.
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 Ecuador, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
