In 2025, the Netherlands’ embassy and consulates in Trinidad and Tobago (Port of Spain) received 82 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 80. 2.4% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 0.0%: the rate rose by 2.4 points. Applications fell by 13% compared with 2024 (94).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 5.1% of the applications lodged in Trinidad and Tobago that year. the Netherlands’ consulates worldwide refused 17.7%. The Netherlands was the 3rd most applied-for Schengen state in Trinidad and Tobago.
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 Trinidad and Tobago, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
