Belgium: visa decisions in Hong Kong
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 628 | 600 | 28 | 4.5% | 63.3% |
| 2024 | 727 | 694 | 27 | 3.7% | 75.8% |
| 2025 | 805 | 749 | 40 | 5.1% | 93.5% |
In 2025, Belgium’s embassy and consulates in Hong Kong (Hong Kong) received 805 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 749. 5.1% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 3.7%. Applications rose by 11% compared with 2024 (727).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 2.8% of the applications lodged in Hong Kong that year, from 0.4% at the consulates of Spain to 11.6% at those of Austria. Belgium’s consulates worldwide refused 26.1%. Belgium was the 7th most applied-for Schengen state in Hong Kong.
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 Hong Kong, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
