New Zealand tourist / visitor visa success rate for Moroccan citizens

In the UK — the only government that publishes visa outcomes broken down by both nationality and visa type — 65.2% of Moroccan tourist visa applications were approved, down from 67.4% a year earlier, across 35,047 decisions in the year to March 2026. For Moroccan tourist applicants that is the only approval rate on record anywhere. New Zealand does not publish tourist decisions by nationality, so no New Zealand-specific rate exists for Morocco — and any site quoting one is estimating. Where Morocco does have published rates, they run at 73.1% on US visitor visas in FY2025 and 80.8% across 595,748 Schengen short-stay decisions in 2025 — a wider picture of how Moroccan applications are treated, though neither is a tourist-visa figure. What New Zealand does document is the decision itself: officers assess whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time, and the biggest single lever is return intent. The estimator below weighs your own finances, ties, travel history and refusal record instead.

Where Morocco sits in the official data

Two governments publish visa outcomes broken down by country. Neither predicts an individual decision, but together they show how Moroccan applicants fare relative to everyone else, and which of the destinations we cover currently refuses the fewest applications from Morocco.

UK tourist visas — year to March 2026

The UK is the only government that publishes outcomes by nationality and visa type, so it is the one place a tourist-visa figure for Morocco actually exists. 34.8% of Moroccan tourist applications were refused across 35,047 decisions , against 32.6% the year before. That volume makes Morocco the 15th-largest source of UK tourist applicants, of 110 countries with meaningful numbers. Different country, different rules — a reference point, not your odds here.

US visitor visas — FY2025

A 26.9% adjusted refusal rate places Morocco 94th of 199 nationalities the State Department publishes — a lower refusal rate than 53% of them. The median nationality sits at 31.8%, so Morocco is 4.9 points below it.

Schengen short-stay visas — 2025

Across all Schengen consulates in Morocco, 19.2% of short-stay applications were not issued — 75th of 127 countries with a meaningful application volume, and 3.6 points above the 15.6% median.

Schengen short-stay applications lodged in Morocco in 2025, by issuing state. All rows use the European Commission's methodology, so they are comparable with each other — the US figure is computed differently and is shown separately above.

Among Schengen states, applications lodged in Morocco were refused least often by France at 10% and most often by Portugal at 61% — a gap of 51 points on a like-for-like basis. That gap reflects who applies where as much as how strictly each state decides, so it is a starting point for choosing a main destination, not a ranking of leniency. You must still apply to the state where you will spend the most nights.

Demand and outcome moved together for Morocco between 2024 and 2025. Schengen consulates there decided 595,748 short-stay applications, against 575,458 the year before — up 3.5% — while the refusal rate went from 20.1% to 19.2%. That easing meant roughly 5,425 more applicants were issued a visa than 2024's rate would have produced.

What actually moves the needle

This is the heart of tourist decisions for New Zealand. Make it concrete and documented rather than assumed.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an official New Zealand tourist visa success rate for Moroccan citizens?

Not one we currently carry. We only print a rate when we hold the publisher's own figure for this nationality and this visa category, and we do not hold one for New Zealand tourist visas. The figure shown on this page is a modelled estimate built from published route-level data and your answers — we label it as such rather than presenting it as a government statistic. What you can act on is the documented requirement set below, which is what the decision actually turns on.

What matters most for a New Zealand tourist visa?

Officers focus on whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time. In practice the single biggest lever is return intent, so make that part of your application as strong and well-documented as possible.

Does a previous visa refusal affect my chances?

Yes. A prior refusal weighs on new applications until its underlying reason is addressed. Find out exactly why you were refused, fix what caused it, and clearly show what is different this time.

Is this a guarantee of approval?

No. GetVisaOdds is an educational planning tool, not legal advice and not a guarantee. Only a consular or immigration officer can decide your application. We show approximate odds and the reasons behind them so you can prepare better.

Is my information private?

Completely. The estimate runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are never sent to a server or stored — there is no sign-up and nothing to leak.
