Schengen Visas in 2024: An Insurmountable Wall for Moroccans

Media7 April 21, 2024

In a context where Moroccans aspire to discover Europe, obtaining a Schengen visa is becoming more and more difficult. Since the beginning of April, warning signals have multiplied regarding the increasing complexity of this administrative process.

Reliable sources reveal a worrying trend: the emergence of questionable practices linked to Schengen visas. “Visa appointment sellers” offer tempting offers, but at exorbitant prices. This practice, which is particularly prevalent in France and Spain, arouses concern among candidates for departure.

Behind the scenes of social networks, discussions are heating up. Moroccans testify to their setbacks, denouncing prohibitive prices and increasing difficulties in obtaining an appointment for their visa application. This increase in testimonies worries consumer defense associations, who are sounding the alarm.

Faced with this worrying situation, experts call for immediate action from the Moroccan authorities. With the baccalaureate exams approaching and the prospect of studying abroad, it becomes imperative to relax the procedures for obtaining Schengen visas.

Despite the efforts made, obstacles persist. For many Moroccans, the hope of traveling to Europe is fading. This issue highlights the challenges faced by citizens in their quest for international mobility, thus requiring concrete and rapid measures to remedy them.
