Italy: visa decisions in Morocco
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 11,074 | 8,181 | 2,614 | 23.6% | 76.6% |
| 2024 | 10,478 | 7,386 | 3,049 | 29.1% | 77.8% |
| 2025 | 7,995 | 5,528 | 2,467 | 30.8% | 83.1% |
In 2025, Italy’s embassy and consulates in Morocco (Casablanca and Rabat) received 7,995 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 5,528. The refusal rate was 30.8%. The refusal rate rose by 1.7 points from 29.1% in 2024. Applications fell by 24% compared with 2024 (10,478).
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. Italy’s consulates worldwide refused 10.8%. Italy was the 6th 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.
