Romania: visa decisions in Mexico
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 (part of the year) | 11 | 11 | 0 | – |
| 2025 | 3 | 3 | 0 | – |
In 2025, Romania’s embassy and consulates in Mexico (Mexico City) received 3 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 3. Applications fell by 73% compared with 2024 (11).
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. Romania’s consulates worldwide refused 11.5%. Romania was the 17th 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. Romania only began issuing Schengen visas on 31 March 2024, so its 2024 figures cover part of the year. The figures cover applications lodged in Mexico, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
