It is no coincidence that Morocco, located in the north of the African continent, is famous for its geography and the unique architectural style of its cities, the city of Casablanca, famous for its hot beaches, the region of Chefchaouen, known as the "Blue City", and its monuments, hosts more than 10 million tourists a year. If you want to be among those millions, this article will provide you with detailed information about the Morocco travel visa you will need.
Morocco Tourist Visa
You can realize your planned trip to Morocco by obtaining a Moroccan tourist visa. The reasons for applying for this type of visa can be tourism, visiting family or friends, business trip, medical examinations or treatments, short-term study, exchange programs and many other non-permanent nuances.
Single-entry and multiple-entry Moroccan visas are available. At the same time, you can apply for a short-term visa, which will cover only your first visit, or multiple-entry and long-term visa types. It varies depending on the purpose of your trip and the interval of your trip.
It should be noted that, in most cases, the Moroccan visa is issued for 30 days, starting from the travel period indicated by the applicant in the application form and other documents during the visa application.
Collection of Documents for Morocco Visa Application
When applying for a Moroccan visa, you must submit the following documents:
Original and copy of the first page of your foreign passport
Copies of your previous visas and entry-exit stamps, if applicable
A copy of your identity card
Reference from the place of work* and, if applicable, an extract from the salary card (for persons studying, a reference from the educational institution) Reference and statement from the bank account in your name. (Detailed information about the amount is mentioned below)
If you are applying with a family member, proof of your marital status* (copy of your marriage certificate if you are applying with a spouse, birth certificate if you are applying with a child)
2 photos of you in 3x4 size, on a white background
Airline reservations you make for your trip
Hotel reservations you made for your trip
If the visa is applied for a business visit rather than a tourist one, in this case, an official invitation letter related to that work, event or meeting
Documents marked with "*" must be submitted to the embassy in English. If you have obtained the original document in Azerbaijani rather than in English, in this case, each of these documents must be translated into English and certified by a notary and submitted to the embassy.
The amount in your bank account is based on the travel dates you have indicated, i.e. the length of your stay in Morocco, the price of the flight tickets and hotels you have booked, etc. varies depending. In general, it is recommended that you have at least 2,500-4,000 AZN in your bank account for a one-week trip (equivalent to Euros or US dollars). This amount should fully cover your travel plan. When calculating the amount, you can sum up the average daily cost of 60-70 dollars for each day you indicate that you will be staying in the country with the price of your ticket and hotel reservations and assume a little higher than the figure you received.
If you are an entrepreneur, you can submit the documents that will replace the certificate from the workplace (a copy of the TIN, a certificate issued by the Ministry of Taxes about your turnover) to the embassy. If you are not working, studying or in any case sponsoring another person to cover the costs of your trip, in this case a copy of that person's identity card, proof of employment (if self-employed, the documents listed above), proof of bank account and statement (this bank account can be both in your name and in the name of the sponsor), if you have a family bond, a document confirming this (for example, if it is a parent, your own birth certificate, if it is a brother or sister, both of your birth certificates, etc.) and a paper about sponsorship to the embassy must be presented. If the applicant is under 18 years of age, in this case, if he is traveling alone, a copy of the permission document to leave the country from both parents or, if he is traveling with one of the parents, must also be submitted during the visa application.
It should be noted that even if you submit documents such as TIN, certificate of turnover from the Ministry of Taxes or sponsorship paper, permission paper, you must have each of these documents translated and certified into English by a notary.
Visa Procedure
The visa application is made to the Moroccan embassy in Baku. The visa fee is 38 USD and is paid in cash when submitting the documents. The personal presence of the applicant is mandatory for handing over the documents. The visa result is usually available within a week.
Probability of Getting a Morocco Visa
Just as when applying for a visa at the embassy of any country, your chance of getting a visa in Morocco depends on the state of your profile. Your workplace and position should be normal, your monthly income should be in the standard salary range (in experience there have been many cases of obtaining visas for people with a monthly income in the range of 300-500 AZN), and you should show enough money in your bank account to cover your entire trip, the nuances that bind you to the country (having property in your name), the presence of your family and children) and your travel history are factors that increase your chances of getting a Moroccan visa . The Moroccan embassy is not considered a high-risk embassy for people who have no previous travel history, that is, who do not have a Schengen or other visa. In our experience, many applicants got their first visas from this embassy. Of course, for this, all your other documents must be in order. Also, in any case, having your previous visas is one of the factors that increase your chances of getting a Morocco visa.
