Schengen visa brokers exploit high demand, blackmail applicants
Wednesday 7 August 2024 - 10:42

The price of securing an appointment for a Schengen visa from brokers has skyrocketed to a staggering 10,000 dirhams, leading to accusations of blackmail by desperate applicants.

Eyewitnesses interviewed by  local newspaper Asabah claim brokers are monopolizing the visa application process.

Ayoub Meftahelkhir, a member of the Moroccan Observatory for Digital Sovereignty, expressed frustration at the brokers’ ability to circumvent technical procedures.

Despite repeated complaints and attempts to curb the issue, these organized networks continue to operate freely on social media platforms.
