Belgium: visa decisions in Mexico
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 46 | 44 | 2 | 4.3% | 95.5% |
| 2024 | 42 | 40 | 1 | 2.4% | 65.0% |
| 2025 | 53 | 49 | 0 | 0.0% | 67.3% |
In 2025, Belgium’s embassy and consulates in Mexico (Mexico City) received 53 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 49. 0.0% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 2.4%: the rate fell by 2.4 points. Applications rose by 26% compared with 2024 (42).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 5.5% of the applications lodged in Mexico that year, from 3.3% at the consulates of Spain to 9.8% at those of France. Belgium’s consulates worldwide refused 26.1%. Belgium was the 9th most applied-for Schengen state in Mexico.
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 Mexico, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
