In fiscal year 2025 (October 2024 to September 2025) the United States issued 29,564 nonimmigrant visas to citizens of Morocco, the 46th highest number of the 206 nationalities listed. Visitor visas (B1/B2) made up 87%, transit and crew visas 4% and diplomatic and official visas 3%. That is 15% fewer than in fiscal year 2024 (34,985).
From October 2025 to February 2026, citizens of Morocco received 18,111, 48% more than in the same months a year earlier.
For visitor visas (B1/B2) the State Department reports an adjusted refusal rate of 26.9% for citizens of Morocco in fiscal year 2025 (fiscal year 2024: 14.5%). The adjusted rate counts a refusal that was later overcome, for example with further documents, as an issuance. A rate below 3% is one of the conditions for a country to join the Visa Waiver Program.
These figures count visas issued to citizens of Morocco anywhere in the world, not only at the US missions in Morocco.
