Requirements for an online visa to Morocco
Morocco online visa requirements specify the list of required documents and other criteria that must be met to be eligible for the online visa application.
One of the most important factors determining whether an applicant is eligible for a Morocco e-Visa is their nationality. While certain nationals can apply for a visa online, others need to visit the nearest embassy or consulate and obtain a visa in a traditional way.
One of the most important documents that an eligible applicant needs to submit when applying online is a valid passport. In most cases, however, applicants will also need to provide a residence permit issued by a certain country.
Morocco e-Visa application can be completed within minutes from the comfort of the applicant’s home. Next, the processing time may take around 3 business days, so it’s best to submit the visa application at least a few business days prior to travel.
