Which Schengen country is easiest to get a visa from Morocco?

On 2025 figures it is France, which approved 90.0%. Its likely range starts at 89.9%, above the top of the next country's (Spain, up to 79.3%). Across every Schengen state, 81 in 100 applications from Morocco were approved in 2025. The best option approved 90 in 100; the lowest, Malta, approved 21.

Read this before the table. You are required to apply to the country where you will spend the most nights — or, if the nights are split evenly, the country you enter first. That is not a formality: an application lodged at the wrong consulate is refused on that ground alone, and a refusal is visible to every Schengen consulate on every future application you ever make. This table tells you what the odds look like where you are genuinely going. It is not a menu.

Too few decisions to rank (under 1,000): Finland 59% of 992; Hungary 42% of 818; Bulgaria 85% of 591; the Czech Republic 79% of 505; Romania 86% of 462.

"Likely range" is where the true approval rate probably lies (95% confidence) given how many people applied. Approval rate = visas issued (including visas limited to some countries) out of all decisions — the European Commission's own definition. Source: European Commission consulate statistics, 2025.

The number that actually moves: which consulate

A country's rate is an average over posts that behave very differently. This is the part the listicles leave out, and for most applicants it matters more than the choice of country — it is the one figure that describes their own situation rather than a national average.

Your consulate is fixed by where you live, so this is rarely a choice either. Its value is calibration: it tells you how much scrutiny to prepare for.

What this page deliberately does not do

It does not rank countries by how "lenient" they are, because the data cannot support that claim. A consulate's refusal rate reflects who applies there as much as how it decides. Italy's Rabat and Casablanca posts apply the same law; they see different applicant pools.

It also does not tell you your own chances. A national approval rate of 90% does not mean you personally have a 90% chance — your documents, finances, employment and travel history dominate. What the rate is good for is judging how thorough you need to be. The reasons applications actually fail →
