Why applications on this route get refused
Name missing from the AMCI list
For students placed at a public university through AMCI, the embassy or consulate checks for your name on the list AMCI sent in advance.
How to avoid it: Before you apply, ask AMCI or your university to confirm your name was sent to the embassy or consulate where you will apply.
Not enough proof of money
You need a bank statement showing enough money for your whole stay. A statement that doesn't cover the full period does not meet this requirement.
How to avoid it: Use a recent bank statement that clearly covers your full planned stay, or add a guarantor's care letter.
Passport expires before your stay ends
Your passport must stay valid for longer than your stay in Morocco.
How to avoid it: Renew your passport before you apply if it would expire during your studies.
