South African Visa Process Enquiry

By Uzayr Sonday

Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am a South African citizen, residing in Cape Town, and I am writing to request clarification regarding the Moroccan visa process for South African passport holders

According to the information available online, there appears to be some inconsistency:

On one Moroccan government website (https://www.acces-maroc.ma/#/), it states that South Africans are not eligible for an e-visa.
However, on another Moroccan website (https://morocco-evisa.org/) , it indicates that South Africans are eligiblefor an e-visa.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could confirm whether South African passport holders are currently eligible to apply for an e-visa to Morocco.

If an e-visa is not available, could you please advise on the process for applying for a regular visa?

As I understand, the Moroccan Embassy is located in Pretoria. Since I am based in Cape Town, I would like to know whether I am required to appear in person at the embassy for the application, or if there is an option to submit my documents via courier or another remote process

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response

Kind regards,

Uzayr Sonday

Cape Town, South Africa

Hello Uzayr,

You’re honestly not alone on this — Morocco’s visa info for South Africans is super confusing. I ran into the same situation recently when I was helping a South African colleague plan her trip. Two different websites were saying two completely different things.

Here’s the clearest version based on the most up-to-date guidance (I actually double-checked this through the support team at morocco-evisa.org; they were really helpful when I needed answers):

South Africans can apply for the Morocco e-Visa — but only in specific cases. - If they hold a valid residence permit or multiple-entry sticker visa from one of these places: Australia, Canada, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Schengen countries, the United Kingdom, or the United States.

If you do not have any of those valid permits/visas, then unfortunately, as a South African passport holder are not eligible for the Morocco e-Visa at the moment.

In that case, you’d need to apply for a regular visa through the Moroccan Embassy.

A friend of mine had to go through this recently — she said contacting the embassy directly was the easiest way to understand if they’d allow courier submissions or if she needed to appear in person. It depends on the case.

Hope this helps and gets you on the right track. Best of luck with your visa!
