Spain: visa decisions in Morocco

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 189,126 | 123,270 | 51,281 | 29.3% | 52.2% |
| 2024 | 216,985 | 142,148 | 47,495 | 24.9% | 53.2% |

In 2025, Spain’s embassy and consulates in Morocco (Tangier, Casablanca, Rabat, Nador and Tétouan) received 208,421 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 148,468. 20.9% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 24.9%: the rate fell by 4.0 points. Applications fell by 4% compared with 2024 (216,985).
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. Spain’s consulates worldwide refused 14.6%. Spain was the 2nd 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.
