Portugal: visa decisions in Morocco
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2,376 | 1,902 | 474 | 19.9% | 68.1% |
| 2024 | 5,308 | 3,065 | 2,130 | 40.9% | 56.1% |
| 2025 | 6,919 | 2,695 | 4,224 | 61.0% | 31.9% |
In 2025, Portugal’s embassy and consulates in Morocco (Rabat) received 6,919 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 2,695. 61.0% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 40.9%: the rate rose by 20.0 points, a sharp increase. Applications rose by 30% compared with 2024 (5,308).
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. Portugal’s consulates worldwide refused 23.3%. Portugal was the 7th 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.
