Morocco Entry Visa

Morocco Entry Visa

Most tourists and visitors to Morocco can obtain an entry visa at any port of entry. All foreigners arriving in Morocco should have a valid passport (with at least 6 months left before expiration) to get your entry visa

There are 3 types of Moroccon Visas:

In Morocco, there are three main types of visas available. : A short-term visa, also known as a tourist visa, a transit visa, and a long-term visa.
Short-term visa (tourist visa): A tourist or short-term visa is issued to individuals who need a visa to enter Morocco and who wish to visit for tourism or business purposes, for academic or cultural events, sports events, journalism, or medical treatment. It may be issued for single or multiple entries, with a maximum stay of up to 90 days.
Transit visa: You must obtain a Morocco transit visa if you plan to pass through Moroccan territory on your way to another country. A transit visa for one or two journeys is available, restricting your time in Morocco to no more than 72 hours.
Long-term visa: Long-term visas to Morocco are available for foreigners who want to stay there for an extended period, such as to work or to be with family members. In reality, the visa is only valid for three months, but the recipient may apply for a Residency Card (Carte de Séjour) from the Moroccan General Directorate of National Security. A Morocco long-term visa is divided into several subtypes: work visas for foreigners looking for work in Morocco, who can provide a work permit; student visas for foreigners wishing to study at a Moroccan school; and family reunification visas for family members living there.

How and where to Apply for visas when visiting morocco:

There are Moroccan diplomatic missions in every country where travelers must apply for a Morocco visa. The process is usually as follows:
To begin, make an appointment at the Morocco consulate or embassy. It depends on the country, but you may be able to make an appointment online, or you may need to make a phone call or appear in person. Those without an appointment will not be permitted to apply. In some Moroccan embassies, visa applications are handled by private companies, so you must contact them if you want to get a visa. Make sure you have all the necessary documents, fill out the visa application form (which you can obtain from the embassy or consulate website, or you can get it directly), and include a picture of yourself if required.
Once you've gathered all the other supporting documents, you can deliver them to the embassy or consulate—usually in person, but on certain applications, you may submit them through a lawyer or by post. If you use a prepaid, self-addressed special delivery envelope to return your passport, you must include it. You can get the forms from the embassy or consulate, or download them from their website.
Once you have paid the visa processing fee, you must wait two weeks (10 business days) for your visa to be processed. If you hold a non-standard travel document, the visa processing could take longer. You must pick up a Morocco visa sticker yourself if you applied in person, but if you applied by mail, the embassy/consulate will mail it to you.
