Types of visas for entering Morocco

A visa is a permit to enter and stay in Morocco for a limited period, issued by the competent authority of Morocco. The visa indicates the validity period, from one day to three months, or in exceptional cases, for a year and, depending on the situation, the number of entries (one, two, or multiple).

However, having a visa does not grant an irrevocable right to entry. Therefore, the check carried out when checking a passport or travel document may also include the manner of stay and reasons for arrival of the person concerned in Morocco.

Competent authorities issue four types of entry visa to Morocco: short-term visa, long-term visa, transit visa, visa issued at the border. You can read more detailed information at the link: https://www.consulat.ma/en/types-granted-visas.

Long-term visa

A long-stay visa exceeding three months is a multiple-entry visa issued by Morocco's diplomatic or consular services after consultation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
