In 2025, Poland’s embassy and consulates in Venezuela (Caracas) received 1 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1. Applications fell by 67% compared with 2023 (3).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 2.2% of the applications lodged in Venezuela that year. Poland’s consulates worldwide refused 15.8%. Poland was the 8th most applied-for Schengen state in Venezuela.
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 Venezuela, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
