How To Apply For Morocco E-Visa From The UAE? An Easy Guide
Travel enthusiasts and UAE residents have a new reason to celebrate as the Embassy of Morocco in Abu Dhabi has officially unveiled the e-visa facility for Morocco. This development streamlines the process of visiting Morocco, offering a blend of vibrant markets and tranquil landscapes, without the need to visit the embassy. So, if you're planning to visit Morocco during the Eid break this year, here's all the information you will ever need.
Eligibility And Application Process
To be eligible for the Moroccan e-visa, applicants must possess a valid Emirates ID card indicating a minimum of 180 days of UAE residency. The e-visa, valid for 180 days from the issuance date, permits a single entry for a short stay of up to 30 days within Morocco. Applicants are required to prepare a copy of their UAE residence visa, valid for over 180 days, a passport copy with at least 90 days of validity, and a passport-sized photograph.
To apply for the e-visa, visit acces-maroc.ma and follow a series of steps. Travellers must verify their visa requirements based on nationality, country of residence, and other criteria. After entering and confirming an email address, applicants are led through an application form requiring detailed personal information, travel conditions compliance, and submission of required documents.
Cost And Receipt Of E-visa
Two options are available for receiving the e-visa. The standard option costs 770 Moroccan Dirham (MAD) (approximately Dh281.67), with an average processing time of three business days, though it may extend due to additional verification needs. The express option, priced at 1,100 MAD (roughly Dh402.39), promises an average processing time of one business day, subject to the same conditions for possible delays. Upon payment, applicants receive an application number to track their submission. For any issues during the application process, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccan Expatriates can be contacted at [email protected].
This new e-visa system signifies a major step towards facilitating travel between the UAE and Morocco, encouraging exploration and cultural exchange between the two nations. With the ease of application and flexibility in processing times, UAE residents are now closer than ever to experiencing the enchanting beauty and diversity of Morocco.
