According to verified data from the European Commission, Morocco was among the top nationalities applying for Schengen visas in 2025. Moroccan citizens submitted approximately 620,000 applications, placing the country in the top tier of applicants globally.
The data, released in early 2026, shows that Morocco consistently ranks high in visa demand, reflecting strong travel ties with Europe. The exact ranking within the top three or five varies by source, but Morocco is confirmed as a leading applicant country.
Key factors driving this demand include family visits, tourism, and business travel. The Schengen area allows visa-free movement among 27 European countries, making it a popular destination for Moroccan travelers.
No further breakdown by visa type or approval rates was available in the verified data. The European Commission typically releases annual visa statistics in the first quarter of the following year.
