Who Can Apply for a Morocco e-Visa?

Complete list of eligible nationalities and countries whose citizens can apply for the Morocco electronic visa online.

Morocco e-Visa Eligibility Overview

Understanding who can apply for electronic travel authorization

The Morocco e-Visa system allows citizens from numerous countries to apply for electronic travel authorization online. Eligibility depends on your nationality and, in some cases, your residency status or possession of valid visas from specific countries. The application process is designed to be straightforward and accessible for eligible travelers.

Two main eligibility categories exist: citizens who can apply directly without additional requirements, and those who need to hold a residence permit or multiple-entry visa from designated countries. Understanding your eligibility status is the first step toward obtaining your Morocco e-Visa.

The e-Visa is available for tourism and business purposes, allowing a maximum stay of 30 days with a validity period of 180 days from the date of issue. All travelers, including children and minors, must obtain their own individual e-Visa before traveling to Morocco.

Important information for specific situations

UK Residence Permit Holders

UK applicants with old UK residence permits must provide a UK Immigration Status Share Code document. You can upload either the old UK residence permit with the share code or a valid UK visa without the share code. Expired visas or permits are not accepted.

Minors and Children

Every traveler, including minors and children, must have their own Morocco e-Visa. Parents or legal guardians can apply on behalf of children, but each child requires a separate application. When traveling with minors, additional documentation such as birth certificates or parental consent letters may be required at the border.

Dual Citizenship

If you hold dual citizenship, you should apply using the passport you intend to use for travel to Morocco. Check if one of your nationalities qualifies for visa-free entry before applying for an e-Visa. You must use the same passport for your application and when entering Morocco.

Residence Permit Validity

If your eligibility depends on holding a residence permit from a designated country, ensure that your permit is valid for at least 180 days from the date of your e-Visa application. You must present the original residence permit upon arrival in Morocco if it was used during the application process.

Multiple-Entry Visa Requirements

For applicants using a multiple-entry visa as supporting documentation, the visa must be non-electronic (sticker visa) and valid for at least 90 days from the e-Visa application date. The visa must be from one of the designated countries listed above.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eligibility

Common questions about Morocco e-Visa eligibility

What if my country is not on the eligible list?

If your country is not on the Morocco e-Visa eligible countries list, you have two options:

  • Check if your nationality qualifies for visa-free entry to Morocco for short stays
  • Apply for a traditional sticker visa through the nearest Moroccan embassy or consulate

Contact the Moroccan diplomatic mission in your country for specific guidance on visa requirements for your nationality.

Can I apply if I have a Schengen visa but my country is not eligible?

Yes, if you hold a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa or a Schengen residence permit valid for at least 180 days, you may be eligible to apply for a Morocco e-Visa even if your nationality is not on the direct eligibility list.

The same applies to residence permits or multiple-entry visas from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, or Ireland. You must present the original document upon arrival in Morocco.

Do children need separate e-Visas?

Yes, every traveler, including minors and infants, must have their own Morocco e-Visa. Each child requires a separate application with their own passport and photograph.

Parents or legal guardians can complete the application on behalf of children, but each application must be submitted individually. Additional documents such as birth certificates may be required when traveling with minors.

How long must my residence permit be valid?

If your eligibility depends on holding a residence permit from a designated country, the permit must be valid for at least 180 days (6 months) from the date of your e-Visa application.

For multiple-entry visas, the requirement is 90 days (3 months) of validity from the application date. The visa must be a non-electronic sticker visa, not an e-Visa from another country.

Can I apply with an expired residence permit?

No, expired residence permits or visas are not accepted for Morocco e-Visa applications. Your residence permit must be currently valid and meet the minimum validity requirements (180 days for residence permits, 90 days for multiple-entry visas).

If your residence permit has expired or will expire soon, you must either renew it before applying or explore alternative visa options through a Moroccan embassy or consulate.

What is the difference between eligible and visa-exempt countries?

Eligible countries are those whose citizens can apply for a Morocco e-Visa online. They need to obtain electronic travel authorization before traveling.

Visa-exempt countries are those whose citizens do not need any visa (including e-Visa) to enter Morocco for short stays. They can travel to Morocco with just a valid passport.

If your country is visa-exempt, you do not need to apply for an e-Visa. However, you must still meet entry requirements such as having a passport valid for at least 6 months.
