Morocco tourist visa
Here is the one thing to fix before you book: you cannot land in Casablanca and pick up a stamp at the airport. Morocco offers no visa-on-arrival to Indian nationals, so the visa has to be in hand before you fly. The good news is that India sits on Morocco's Category A e-Visa list, which means ordinary-passport holders can arrange the whole thing online for tourism through the government portal, acces-maroc.ma. The e-Visa is single entry, valid for 180 days from the date of issue, and lets you stay up to 30 days.
Pick your speed: a standard decision lands within 72 hours of submission, express within 24. One condition governs it — the e-Visa accepts ordinary passports only. If you carry a diplomatic, service or special passport, or you simply prefer a sticker in your passport over an electronic one, you apply for a consular visa through VFS Global or BLS International, and the Embassy of Morocco in New Delhi assesses those files.
Who this visa is for
- ✓Indian citizens holding an ordinary passport valid at least 90 days from the date of the e-Visa application.
- ✓Travel for tourism (the e-Visa also covers business); it cannot be used to apply for residency in Morocco.
- ✓Applicants making a single-entry trip of up to 30 days.
- ✓Holders of diplomatic, service or special passports, who must apply for a consular visa at the Embassy/Consulate of Morocco rather than the e-Visa.

Your exact checklist depends on your profile — we confirm it during your case analysis. Every visa decision rests with the embassy or consulate.
For consular applications in India, Morocco works through two accredited agencies — VFS Global and BLS International — and the Embassy of Morocco in New Delhi assesses those files. Bear in mind that once an e-Visa application is validated and paid, it cannot be cancelled or refunded, so double-check every passport and travel detail before you submit.
Frequently asked questions
Do Indian citizens need a visa for Morocco, or is there visa-on-arrival?
Yes, a visa is required before you travel — Morocco offers no visa-on-arrival to Indian nationals. Because India sits on Morocco's Category A e-Visa list, ordinary-passport holders can apply online for a tourist e-Visa at acces-maroc.ma. The alternative is a consular sticker visa through VFS Global or BLS International.
How long does the Morocco e-Visa take, and how long can I stay?
A standard application is issued within 72 hours of submission, express within 24. The e-Visa is single entry, valid for 180 days from the date of issue, and allows a stay of up to 30 days.
Can I re-enter or extend my stay on the same e-Visa?
No. It is single entry, and stays cannot be combined — once your permitted time is up you must leave Morocco before a new visa can be used. The e-Visa also cannot be used to apply for residency in Morocco.
Do you guarantee the visa?
No. The decision rests solely with the Embassy/Consulate of Morocco and Moroccan immigration authorities. What we do is give you a frank assessment of your profile and make your application as strong and complete as possible. Over the last two to three years, our applications have carried a 97% success rate.
