"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.
| Country | Most approvals | Fewest | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Italy | Rabat 91.2% approved | Casablanca 62.6% approved | 28.5 pts |
| Spain | Casablanca 87.2% approved | Nador 64.0% approved | 23.1 pts |
| France | Casablanca 91.3% approved | Rabat 89.2% approved | 2.1 pts |
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 →
