Switzerland: visa decisions in Morocco
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 4,961 | 4,162 | 793 | 16.0% | 82.1% |
| 2024 | 6,028 | 4,442 | 1,537 | 25.5% | 83.3% |
| 2025 | 6,313 | 4,714 | 1,588 | 25.2% | 80.1% |
In 2025, Switzerland’s embassy and consulates in Morocco (Rabat) received 6,313 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 4,714. The refusal rate was 25.2%. That is barely different from 2024 (25.5%). Applications rose by 5% compared with 2024 (6,028).
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. Switzerland’s consulates worldwide refused 12.5%. Switzerland was the 8th 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.
