|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2,823 | 1,958 | 887 | 31.2% | 16.4% |
| 2024 | 3,202 | 1,866 | 1,352 | 42.0% | 15.6% |
| 2025 | 3,881 | 1,979 | 1,893 | 48.9% | 17.1% |
In 2025, Sweden’s embassy and consulates in Morocco (Rabat) received 3,881 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,979. 48.9% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 42.0%: the rate rose by 6.9 points, a sharp increase. Applications rose by 21% compared with 2024 (3,202).
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. Sweden’s consulates worldwide refused 23.1%. Sweden was the 11th 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.
