Where to apply: Belgium has no mission in Uruguay

Guides tell you a visa is required but never warn that there is nowhere to file it — the mission simply does not exist in your country. We picked the nearest countries that do accept applications and measured the distance.

1
Argentina 966 km
Applications accepted in: Buenos Aires
2
Chile 1,493 km
Applications accepted in: Santiago De Chile
3
Brazil 2,070 km
Applications accepted in: Sao Paulo

Distances are measured between country centroids — a rough guide, not a route. Before you travel, confirm with the chosen consulate that it accepts applicants resident elsewhere: many operate a consular district, and out-of-district applications are not always accepted, often with a longer queue.

Your odds of getting the visa: Uruguay → Belgium

Visa guides tell you whether a visa is required. This block answers the second question — will you get it. Figures come from the European Commission's official 2025 statistics, broken down per country pair.

7,8%
of Schengen visa applications refused in Uruguay
-6,7 pp below the Schengen average (14.5%) — refused less often than average
+3.0 pp year-over-year: 2024 was 4.8%, now 7.8%

The Commission counts applications by where they were filed — at consulates located in Uruguay — rather than by the applicant's nationality. For most countries these nearly coincide, but applications filed there by other nationals are included too. 2025 data. Source: European Commission, DG HOME
