Types and method of obtaining visas :

​

The different types of visa: four types of visa are issued by the Moroccan diplomatic representations.

​

1. The traditional visa: it allows a foreigner to enter the territory of Morocco for reasons other than immigration, for a short stay uninterrupted or several short stays in the case of multiple entries. The duration of each stay is between 1 and 90 days.

​

2. The long-term visa: it allows foreigners to stay in the Moroccan territory for repeated periods of up to 90 days for 12 months. It is issued by the Moroccan diplomatic or consular representations, after prior consultation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation.

​

3. The transit visa: it authorizes a foreigner, who goes to a third State, to cross the territory of Morocco. This visa may be issued for one or two transits, without the duration of stay of each transit exceeding 72 hours. It is particularly suitable for travelers who do not benefit from the visa exemption and taking a Royal Air Maroc flight with a long connection to Casablanca airport. It makes it possible to leave the airport the time of the correspondence.

 

4. The visa on arrival: exceptionally, Security Services may issue short-stay visas and transit visas on arrival at Mohammed V airport in Casablanca. For countries where Morocco is not represented, requests must be made to the diplomatic mission accredited to that country or to the Honorary Consuls. In the absence of such representations, requests will be addressed directly to the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Department of Consular and Social Affairs in Rabat (visa@maec.gov.ma) for a visa deposit at the airport.
