Keep reading to find out who requires the Morocco Visa and how to get it without hassle.
What is the Morocco Visa?
Morocco introduced this electronic visa (also called the Morocco eVisa) to make it easier for eligible international visitors to enter the country without a visit to an embassy or consulate.
To ensure a smooth journey, apply for your Moroccan eVisa at least three weeks before departure.

This visa category is meant for:
- Tourism
- Business
What can't you do with the Morocco Visa?

Who requires or is eligible for the Morocco Visa?
Citizens of the following countries can apply for the Morocco Visa without further document requirements:
- Azerbaijan
- Guatemala
- India
- Israel
- Jordan

However, please note that most other travelers who are not visa-exempt must have a residence permit or visa from one of these countries to get a (multiple-entry) visa:
Australia, Canada, Japan, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, any Schengen country, or the United States.
Make sure to provide a copy of your residence permit or visa during the online application process.
Do minors need a Moroccan Visa to enter the country?
Yes, children and minors from eligible countries must also have a visa to enter Morocco.
Parents or legal guardians can apply for the travel document on their child's behalf.
How long is the Morocco eVisa valid for?
The Morocco e-visa offers a maximum stay of 30 days from the date of arrival in Morocco. You must enter Morocco within 180 days after the visa is issued.
The Moroccan Visa is a single-entry document. This means you can only visit the country once with this travel document.
Can I extend the Morocco Visa?
An extension of the Morocco Visa is possible.
To apply for an extension, you must go to the nearest Moroccan police station. However, it does not always guarantee an extension.
We recommend applying for an extension as soon as you arrive in the country and always before your visa expires to avoid overstaying and any related consequences, such as a fine or ban.

Questions?
Can I change the visa to a work permit?
Sam K, Nigeria | July 4, 2024
I'm in Casablanca on a tourist visa visiting my brother. He’s managed to get me a short-term job at his workplace. Is it possible to switch my tourist visa to a work permit while I'm still in the country? What steps would I need to take?
Martin, iVisa | July 6, 2024
To officially switch from a tourist visa to a work permit in Morocco, you need a job offer from a Moroccan employer willing to sponsor your work visa application. You will then need to apply for a work permit, which typically involves providing various documents like a valid passport, a job offer letter, proof of health insurance, and possibly a criminal background check. This process should be initiated with the help of your employer and might require you to leave the country to apply for the work visa at a Moroccan consulate or embassy. The procedure can be complex and if you're sure you want to work during your visit, it would be best to consult an immigration professional.
Can I extend the eVisa?
Fatima A, Pakistan | July 13, 2024
I’m headed to Morocco in a couple of weeks. The last time I was there was before the pandemic, so I’m very excited about this trip. I’ve got a feeling I’ll want to extend my stay once I experience the beauty of Marrakesh again. Is it possible to extend an eVisa while in the country? Can it be done online?
Cami, iVisa | July 15, 2024
Currently, a Morocco eVisa can be extended up to six months under certain conditions, and extensions must be requested at the nearest local police station in Morocco. This means you cannot extend your eVisa online; the process must be done in person. Make sure to start this process in good enough time before your initial eVisa expires to ensure you remain in Morocco legally.
How should I fill out the application form if I don't have a surname?
Priya S, India | July 18, 2024
I'm going to Casablanca next week and I've hit a roadblock with the visa application. My passport doesn’t show a surname, only my first name. How should I handle the surname field on the Morocco eVisa form?
Martin, iVisa | July 20, 2024
If your passport does not show a surname, you should enter your first name in the surname field as well. It's crucial to ensure that the name entered matches how it appears in your travel documents to avoid issues when entering Morocco.
What to do if my Morocco Visa application has been canceled or rejected?
If your application for the Morocco Visa is rejected, you will be notified of the rejection by email. If applying through iVisa, our experts review the information submitted before processing the visa to avoid delays or rejections.
You can sometimes reapply for the Moroccan Visa, depending on the reasons for cancellation or rejection. Contact our customer service team and we'll help you as best as we can.
I am not eligible for the Morocco Visa, what travel document do I need instead?
First, check if your nationality is on the visa-exempt list. If it is, you don't need a visa to enter Morocco. However, always check any other entry requirements at your nearest Moroccan Embassy or Consulate.
If your nationality isn't on the above list, you may need a traditional visa, or ETA.
- The eVisa is available for nationals from:
Azerbaijan, Guatemala, India, Israel, Jordan, Thailand without further document requirements.
However, please note that most other travelers who are not visa-exempt must have a residence permit or visa from one of these countries to get this visa:
Australia, Japan, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Schengen countries, Azerbaijan, Guatemala, Jordan, or the United States.
Make sure to provide a copy of your residence permit or visa during the online application process.
