Frequently Asked Questions About Morocco

It depends on your nationality and the documents you hold. Some nationalities can visit Morocco for a short stay without a visa. Others can apply online for the Morocco eVisa, either directly by nationality or because they hold a valid visa or residence permit from a recognised country. Everyone else applies for a consular visa. The eVisa requirements page walks you through the three routes so you know which one applies before you gather any documents.

Two groups of travellers: nationals of the countries on the eVisa eligible countries list, and travellers of other nationalities who hold a qualifying document – a valid residence permit or a valid multiple-entry visa issued by certain countries. In both cases you need an ordinary passport; diplomatic, service and other travel documents are not accepted for the eVisa. Eligibility is confirmed at the start of the online application, before any payment. Full details are on the requirements page.

Up to 30 days per visit. The eVisa is a short-stay visa for tourism or business trips; it does not allow you to work or to apply for residence in Morocco. Holding several eVisas does not let you add the stays together – you must leave at the end of one stay before using a new eVisa. Read the Morocco eVisa overview for the conditions that apply after approval.

Yes. The Morocco eVisa is a single-entry visa: it admits you once, for a stay of up to 30 days. If you leave Morocco and want to return, even within the validity period, you need a new eVisa. Travellers planning a side trip to Spain or another country mid-holiday should factor this in. See the eVisa overview for validity and stay rules side by side.

180 days from the date of issue. You must enter Morocco within that window; the 30-day stay then runs from the day you enter. Validity and length of stay are separate limits, so an eVisa issued well before your trip still gives you a full 30 days on arrival. The dates are printed on the eVisa itself – check them against your travel plans as soon as it arrives. More on the Morocco eVisa page.

Yes. Every traveller, including babies and children, needs their own eVisa linked to their own ordinary passport; a child cannot be added to a parent’s visa. The application asks for the same details and documents as an adult application, and children travel with a parent or legal guardian. Prepare each child’s passport scan and photo before you start. See the documents list.

You can prepare the applications for your family together in one sitting, but each person is a separate application with their own eVisa. Use the same contact email for all of them so the decisions arrive in one place, and enter every name and passport number exactly as printed in each passport. The step-by-step guide shows what the process looks like.

Entirely online, in six steps: confirm your eligibility route, enter your details exactly as they appear in your passport, upload your documents, review everything, choose standard or urgent processing and pay, then receive the decision by email. There is no consulate appointment and nothing is stuck in your passport. Start with the step-by-step guide and, when ready, go to the Apply page.

Complete, accurate applications are typically reviewed within about 72 hours with standard processing and about 24 hours with urgent processing. These are estimates, not deadlines: weekends, Moroccan public holidays and additional checks can extend them, and the decision rests with the Moroccan authorities. Apply well before you travel and avoid non-refundable bookings until the eVisa is issued. See processing times.

Only the review speed and the price. Both options lead to exactly the same eVisa – single entry, up to 30 days, valid for 180 days. Standard is suitable when you apply a week or more before travel; urgent is for travellers leaving within the next few days. The current totals for each option, and what they include, are on the fees page.

No. Payment is the step that submits the application, and from that moment the details are final; the application cannot be cancelled or amended. This is why the review screen matters: check names, passport number, dates and the uploaded files before paying. If you discover a mistake afterwards, contact the application service straight away to ask what your options are. The how to apply page explains the review step.

By email, to the address given in the application. If approved, download the eVisa, print a copy and carry it with your passport – airlines may ask to see it at check-in and border officers will check it on arrival. Keep a digital copy on your phone as a backup. The application guide describes what to do on receiving the decision.

First check the spam or junk folder of the email address used in the application, then compare the time elapsed with the typical processing times, remembering that weekends and Moroccan public holidays are not counted. You can also check the status of an existing application on the application tracking page. If your departure is close and there is still no decision, contact the application service before rebooking anything.

From the Apply page on this site, which summarises what you need, shows the current fees and processing options, and then takes you to the online application at start your Morocco eVisa application on evis.ma. Read the requirements first if you are not yet sure which route applies to you.

On evis.ma, the online application service linked from this site. Eligibility check, form, document upload, payment and delivery of the decision all happen there, and you can follow an existing application on its tracking page. Travel Entry’s pages explain the eVisa and help you prepare; the application itself is completed and paid for on evis.ma.

Your passport (valid six months from entry), a scan of its photo page, a recent passport-style photo, a copy of your residence permit or qualifying visa if you use the conditional route, your intended travel dates, an email address you check regularly and a payment card. Having these ready means the application takes minutes. The full list is on the requirements page and the Apply page.
