Applicants will not be able to access the France-Visas site from May 26 to May 30, due to technical, regulatory, and processing issues.
France-Visas won’t be accessible at this time to speed up the platform’s application process, according to the French Embassy in Morocco.
During the time of technical repairs, visa applications cannot be submitted online using the platform.
This will not affect applications filed on France-Visas prior to May 26 in nations where applications are handled directly at the visa department.
This regulation applies to applications which could not have been submitted online before May 26 but the appointment is set after May 30.
Applications may start to be received on May 29 in nations where the gathering of files is contracted out to an outside service provider. However, the service provider will have to enter the requests for those that could not be made online, which could cause delays.
The France-Visas services apologized for the occurring inconvenience and encouraged Visa applicants to submit their online applications before May 26 at the French Embassy.
Morocco was the fourth largest market for Schengen visa applicants in 2022, with a total of 423,201 applications submitted at the EU consulates, according to recently released data from Schengen Visa Statistics.
The rejection rate for Moroccan visa applications was 29.7%, much higher than the global rejection rate of 17.9% for visa applications.
€80 is the cost of applying for a Schengen visa, which is in addition to other pricey costs like lodging and acquiring additional paperwork.
Morocco is one of the 28 nations out of 163 having a higher rejection rate than other countries. Algeria, Nigeria, and Tunisia, with rejection percentages of 48.2%, 45.6%, and 30.3%, make up most of the nations with high rejection rates.
France and Spain have refused most Schengen visa applications from Morocco. France rejected 51,498 of the 161,045 applications it received in 2022, and Spain rejected 50,033 of the 201,584 submitted applications.
