Visa Services
Moroccan Embassies & Consulates
Not every traveller can use the Morocco eVisa. If you are not visa-exempt and do not qualify for the eVisa, your visa must be requested through one of the Moroccan embassies and consulates abroad. This page explains when that applies, what a consular application involves in general terms, and how to identify the right mission for your case.
Consular visas are applied for in person. Check the mission’s own website for appointment booking, forms and fees before you travel, and allow extra time for the appointment and passport return.
eVisa or consulate?
When You Need a Moroccan Embassy or Consulate
Morocco’s visa rules place every traveller into one of three situations. Only the third requires a consular application.
No visa needed
Visa-exempt
Nationals of certain countries enter Morocco for short visits on their passport alone. No eVisa and no consulate visit.
Apply online
eVisa-eligible
Eligible by nationality, or through a valid residence permit or entry visa from certain countries. Travel Entry can assist with the online application.
This page
Consular visa required
Neither route applies, so the visa is requested in person through a Moroccan embassy or consulate before you travel.
Morocco does not offer a general visa on arrival, so travellers in the third group must obtain their visa before departure. Holders of diplomatic and service passports cannot use the eVisa and should also contact a Moroccan mission. If you are unsure which group you are in, the eligibility requirements page and the eligibility check at the start of an application will tell you.
Finding the right mission
How to Find the Right Moroccan Embassy or Consulate
Moroccan embassies and consulates each serve a defined area, and consular procedures, opening hours and requirements can differ from one mission to another. For that reason we do not publish a directory of addresses here: details change, and the mission itself is the only reliable source for its current rules.
Start from the country where you legally reside, identify the Moroccan mission responsible for that area, and confirm everything – application method, documents, fees and timing – directly with that mission before you travel to it.
Before contacting a mission
- Confirm you really need a consular visa – not visa-exempt, not eVisa-eligible
- Identify the mission for your country of residence, not simply the nearest one
- Use the mission’s own official channels for requirements, appointments and fees
- Allow time – consular processing is a separate procedure from the eVisa and is not covered by eVisa timeframes
- Keep your passport valid well beyond your planned travel dates
Comparison
eVisa vs Consular Visa: What Differs
Morocco eVisa
- Applied for entirely online; no appointment
- Available only to eligible nationalities or qualifying-document holders with ordinary passports
- Single entry, stay up to 30 days, enter within 180 days of issue
- Delivered by email; printed and carried with the passport
- Travel Entry can assist – see fees and processing times
Consular visa
- Requested in person through a Moroccan embassy or consulate
- The route for travellers who are neither visa-exempt nor eVisa-eligible, and for diplomatic or service passport holders
- Requirements, fees, timing and visa conditions are set by the mission and the Moroccan authorities
- Issued in the passport by the mission
- Not handled by Travel Entry – contact the mission directly
Important Information
- Choose the right mission. Use the mission for your country of residence, not the nearest one; jurisdictions are strict and a wrong choice can cost a wasted journey.
- Official sources are authoritative. Where anything on this site differs from what a Moroccan embassy, consulate or the Moroccan authorities tell you, their information prevails.
- No visa on arrival. Whichever route applies to you, the correct document must be in place before you travel.
- Entry is decided at the border. Any visa, whether eVisa or consular, permits you to present yourself for entry; border officers make the final admission decision.
- Check your eligibility before assuming you need a consular visa. Many travellers who expect to visit a consulate qualify for the eVisa through a residence permit or entry visa they already hold.
Moroccan Embassies and Consulates: Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to go to a Moroccan consulate to get a visa?
Only if you are not visa-exempt and do not qualify for the eVisa, either by nationality (check the eligible countries list) or through a valid residence permit or entry visa from certain countries. Eligible travellers apply online instead.
Can Travel Entry apply at the embassy for me?
No. Travel Entry assists only with the online Morocco eVisa. Consular applications are made directly with the Moroccan mission, following its own procedure.
Which consulate should I contact?
Normally the Moroccan mission responsible for the country or region where you legally reside. Confirm this with the mission itself, as areas of responsibility are set by the mission and not by Travel Entry.
Why don’t you list embassy addresses and phone numbers?
Because contact details, hours and procedures change and are controlled by each mission. A directory that is out of date can cost you a wasted journey. Each mission’s own official channels are the reliable source.
I hold a diplomatic or service passport. Can I use the eVisa?
No. The eVisa is available to ordinary passport holders only. Holders of diplomatic or service passports should contact a Moroccan embassy or consulate.
Are the eVisa fees and processing times the same for consular visas?
No. The fees and processing times published on this site apply to the eVisa through Travel Entry only. Consular fees and timing are set by the mission.
Eligible for the eVisa Instead?
Check your eligibility route before planning a consulate visit. If the eVisa applies to you, the whole process is online and Travel Entry can guide you through it.
