Belgium: visa decisions in Morocco
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 15,192 | 9,346 | 5,846 | 38.4% | 75.6% |
| 2024 | 16,925 | 10,404 | 6,249 | 37.3% | 64.0% |
| 2025 | 17,042 | 10,249 | 6,396 | 38.4% | 62.3% |
In 2025, Belgium’s embassy and consulates in Morocco (Rabat) received 17,042 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 10,249. The refusal rate was 38.4%. That is barely different from 2024 (37.3%). The number of applications was almost unchanged (16,925 in 2024).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 19.2% of the applications lodged in Morocco that year, from 10.0% at the consulates of France to 79.1% at those of Malta. Belgium’s consulates worldwide refused 26.1%. Belgium was the 4th most applied-for Schengen state in Morocco.
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 Morocco, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
