Finland: visa decisions in Mexico
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 21 | 18 | 1 | – | – |
| 2024 | 15 | 8 | 5 | – | – |
| 2025 | 29 | 22 | 1 | 3.4% | 22.7% |
In 2025, Finland’s embassy and consulates in Mexico (Mexico City) received 29 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 22. 3.4% of applications were refused. Applications rose by 93% compared with 2024 (15).
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. Finland’s consulates worldwide refused 13.4%. Finland was the 12th 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.
