Visit the Morocco e-Visa application portal and select "Apply Now" to begin your application. The online form is available 24/7, allowing you to apply at your convenience.
Enter your personal details exactly as they appear on your passport. This includes your full name, date of birth, nationality, and passport information. Double-check all entries for accuracy – even minor spelling errors can lead to application rejection.
Specify your intended travel dates, purpose of visit (tourism, business, or transit), and accommodation information in Morocco. You'll also need to provide details about your planned entry and exit points.
Upload digital copies of your passport bio-data page and passport photo. Ensure all documents are clear, legible, and meet the specified format requirements (JPG, JPEG, or PNG files, typically under 2MB each).
Before submission, carefully review all information you've entered. The system will display a summary of your application details. Verify that all information is correct – you cannot modify most details after submission.
Proceed to the secure payment page to pay the e-Visa processing fee. The system accepts major credit and debit cards. Payment is processed through encrypted channels to ensure your financial information remains secure. Note that visa fees are non-refundable, even if your application is rejected.
After successful payment, submit your application. You'll immediately receive a confirmation email with your application reference number. Save this reference number – you'll need it to track your application status.
Use your reference number to check your application status online. You'll receive email notifications at key processing stages, including when your application is received, under review, and approved or rejected.
Understanding the e-Visa processing workflow
Once you submit your Morocco e-Visa application, it goes through several verification stages:
The standard processing time is 3-5 business days, though some applications may be processed faster. In rare cases, additional documentation or information may be requested, which can extend processing time.
When your application is approved, you'll receive an email containing your e-Visa as a PDF attachment. The e-Visa document includes:
Print multiple copies of your e-Visa and keep both printed and digital versions accessible during your travel. You'll need to present your e-Visa at immigration control when entering Morocco.
If your application is rejected, you'll receive an email explaining the reason. Common reasons for rejection include incomplete information, poor quality documents, or passport validity issues. In most cases, you can reapply after addressing the issues that led to rejection.
While the standard processing time is 3-5 business days, we recommend applying at least 2-3 weeks before your planned travel date. This allows sufficient time for processing and provides a buffer for any unexpected delays or additional document requests.
Early application also gives you time to address any issues that may arise and reapply if necessary, ensuring your travel plans remain on track.
