Morocco Visa Knowledge Base

No visa is needed for citizens of 78 countries and territories, for stays of up to 90 days depending on nationality. Citizens of 111 other nationalities can apply online for the Morocco eVisa: 10 with a passport alone and 101 with a qualifying visa or residence permit. Citizens of 4 countries use the AEVM, and everyone else needs a visa from a Moroccan embassy or consulate.

Morocco does not offer a general visa-on-arrival service. If your nationality needs a visa, you must arrange it before you travel - online as an eVisa, or through a Moroccan consulate. This page explains how visa-free entry differs from visa on arrival, and what to check before you book.

A Morocco eVisa costs USD 169 for standard processing or USD 229 for urgent processing. Each total combines a visa cost — the government fee — with a service fee: USD 90 + USD 79 = USD 169 for standard, and USD 120 + USD 109 = USD 229 for urgent. You pay this total online when you apply, with VAT and service fees included.

Your nationality decides first. If your passport needs a supporting document, a residence permit from an EU country except Cyprus, Norway or Switzerland valid for at least 180 days from your arrival, or a multiple-entry Schengen visa valid for at least 90 days, can make you eligible for the Morocco eVisa. EU, Norwegian and Swiss citizens visit Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days.

A UAE residence permit valid for at least 180 days from your arrival can make you eligible for the Morocco eVisa if your passport needs a supporting document. Residence permits from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman do not count. Citizens of all six Gulf states visit Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days.

British citizens visit Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days. If you live in the UK on another passport, your nationality decides first; where it needs a supporting document, UK residence status valid for at least 180 days from arrival, or a multiple-entry UK visa valid for at least 90 days, makes you eligible for the Morocco eVisa. Nearly one in three applications submitted through evis.ma come from people living in the UK.

With evis.ma you do not have to meet any photo rules yourself: send any recent, clear photo of your face, including a phone photo or a selfie, as a JPG, PNG, HEIC or WEBP file of up to 20 MB. Before we file your application, we adjust it to what the official Morocco eVisa portal asks for: a recent photo that meets ICAO standards, uploaded as a JPEG or JPG file of up to 1 MB.

A qualifying document is a visa or residence permit from a recognised country that can make you eligible for the Morocco eVisa even when your nationality is not eligible on its own. Only two kinds qualify — a multiple-entry visa or a residence permit from a set list of countries — and each must meet a minimum validity.
