Schengen Visas in Morocco: Appointments Obtained at a High Price

Despite appeals, petitions, interpellations of the government by deputies, exhortations of Parliament to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans living abroad, Nasser Bourita, Moroccans continue to suffer the law of Schengen visa appointment intermediaries. Consequence: appointments are now obtained at a high price.

The phenomenon of illegal intermediaries in obtaining Schengen visa appointments is growing. Getting appointments in the agencies set up by European countries for these visas is proving almost impossible. Moroccans looking for this famous sesame to be able to enjoy their holidays in Europe are forced to turn to intermediaries. They do not hesitate to demand exorbitant amounts of up to 10,000 dirhams for a single appointment, reports AssabahIn the middle of summer, these intermediaries earn a “crazy amount of money” on the backs of Schengen visa applicants.
