Validity and Duration of Stay of Morocco eVisa

Travellers from the Morocco eVisa Eligible Countries can apply for the eVisa online, but before beginning the application, they must know how long the eVisa is valid for entry and the maximum number of days they may stay. This helps travellers plan their visit responsibly and avoid any issues related to overstaying.

Morocco eVisa Validity and Stay Duration

The Morocco eVisa is available for both tourism and business travel. Regardless of the purpose, the visa follows the same validity and stay rules:

1. Morocco Visa Validity: Your Morocco eVisa is valid for 180 days from the date of issue. You must enter Morocco before it expires.
2. Morocco eVisa Stay Duration: Once you enter Morocco, you can stay for up to 30 days. Staying beyond this limit counts as overstaying and may result in penalties.
3. Number of Entries: The Morocco eVisa is a single-entry visa, allowing only one entry. If you leave Morocco and want to return, you must apply for a new eVisa.

Here is an Example to Understand It

Let’s say your Morocco eVisa is issued on 10 December:

• You must enter Morocco on or before 8 June (within 180 days).
• Let's say you enter Morocco on 15 January.
• From that day on, your 30-day stay period begins, so you must leave no later than February 14.
• If you exit the country during those 30 days and later decide to return, you will need to apply for a new eVisa, because this eVisa allows only one entry.
