Spain issues Schengen visas at 6 locations in Morocco; this office handled 15% of their 208,421 applications in 2025. Refusal rates elsewhere: Tangier 15.8%, Casablanca 12.8%, Nador 36.0% and Tétouan 29.6%. Each office serves the applicants who live in its own consular district, so the rates also reflect who applies where, not only how strictly files are assessed.

41.1% of the visas issued here were multiple-entry visas, valid for several trips. The statistics count applications, not people, and include every nationality that applies here, not only citizens of Morocco.
