Romania visa for Moroccan citizens

For the tourist visa, Romania’s official sources give a standard fee of €90, and applications are made on evisa.mae.ro. Processing time, as Romania states it: 15 calendar days as a rule; up to 45 days when further checks are needed. Longest stay on the tourist visa: 90 days in any 180-day period in the Schengen area; it cannot be turned into a residence permit.

Romania has 1 mission in Morocco, with its embassy in Rabat.

In 2025, Romania’s embassy and consulates in Morocco (Rabat) received 468 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 394. The refusal rate was 14.5%. The refusal rate rose by 4.9 points from 9.6% in 2024. Applications rose by 53% compared with 2024 (305).

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. Romania’s consulates worldwide refused 11.5%. Romania was the 19th 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. Romania only began issuing Schengen visas on 31 March 2024, so its 2024 figures cover part of the year. The figures cover applications lodged in Morocco, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

Before travelling from Morocco to Romania, it helps to know the official travel advice: the US State Department rates Romania at Level 1, exercise normal precautions (updated 13 October 2025), the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Romania (updated 18 September 2026) and the German Foreign Office has no travel warning for Romania (updated 20 October 2026).
