Finland: visa decisions in Morocco
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 771 | 455 | 314 | 40.6% | 19.3% |
| 2024 | 746 | 479 | 247 | 33.9% | 16.7% |
| 2025 | 1,015 | 580 | 407 | 41.0% | 12.4% |
In 2025, Finland’s embassy and consulates in Morocco (Rabat) received 1,015 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 580. The refusal rate was 41.0%. The refusal rate rose by 7.1 points from 33.9% in 2024, a sharp increase. Applications rose by 36% compared with 2024 (746).
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. Finland’s consulates worldwide refused 13.4%. Finland was the 16th 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.
