Moroccan Transit Visa
About Company
A twelve-hour layover in Casablanca sparked the idea of slipping out to see the city, but that plan quickly ran into a rule worth knowing beforehand. Morocco doesn’t issue transit visas on arrival, so anyone hoping to leave the airport during a connection needs to apply through an embassy in advance, as outlined on the Moroccan Transit Visa page.
Required paperwork includes a passport with two blank visa pages, a recent white-background photo, copies of onward flight tickets, and proof of the visa for the final destination. Processing generally takes several working days, though embassy workload can stretch that further. The permitted stay tops out at 72 hours, enough for airport transfers or a short outing into the city, and it cannot be extended or converted afterward.
For travellers unsure how long a layover might run, the Tourist eVisa often works out simpler. It skips the embassy entirely, processes online in a day or two, and allows freer movement without the same rigid time cap.
