Visa is the Extension

I was confused earlier, but now it’s clear. I realized this because I have the same connecting flight route scheduled for next week.

Hey Uchenna,

Yeah, this one confused me the first time too — long layovers can make anyone double-check.

For Morocco, the rule is pretty straightforward:

If you are NOT leaving the international transit area during your layover, you generally do not need a transit visa, even for an 11-hour wait.

A friend of mine had a similar 9-hour connection in Casablanca on Royal Air Maroc — no transit visa needed as long as he stayed airside and didn’t try to pass immigration.

However, if your airline requires you to collect your bags and re-check in (sometimes this happens with separate tickets), then you would need to pass through immigration, and that’s when a visa becomes necessary.

Since you’re flying Royal Air Maroc and their site says no visa is needed, that usually means your bags are checked through and you’ll remain in transit.

Confirm directly with the airline if your luggage will be checked all the way to Cameroon. If yes — you're good, no transit visa needed.

Safe travels!

Subject: Inquiry About Visa Requirements

Hello, I hope you are doing well.

My name is Safa, I am originally from Iran and currently living in Norway. I do not yet have a Norwegian passport and I hold a Norwegian Travel Document.
I would like to travel to Morocco for a short trip of 2–3 days, and I kindly want to ask what steps I need to take in order to apply for a visa.

Could you please inform me about:
1. The visa requirements for holders of a Norwegian Travel Document,
2. Whether it is possible for me to apply for a tourist visa to Morocco with this document,
3. And what documents or procedures are necessary for the application.

I would greatly appreciate your guidance and assistance.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards,
Safa

Hey!
One of my friends actually had the exact same issue with the name being reversed on the Morocco eVisa.

What we did was contact the same website/platform where the eVisa was submitted and asked them to correct the name.

If you’re not getting any reply or update from the website you applied through, then the safest option is to contact the nearest Moroccan embassy or consulate. They can give you the official guidance and tell you what to do next.

Since your flight is on November 24, I’d recommend reaching out to both as soon as possible just to avoid last-minute stress.-https://morocco-evisa.org/emabssies-consulates-of-morocco/

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!

Hey!
Just to let you know, if you have a Canadian blue travel document, you can’t apply for the Morocco e-visa. The system won’t accept it because they only take ordinary passports.

I had the same situation before, and the website showed me as “not eligible.” So I contacted the Moroccan embassy/consulate, applied for a sticker visa, and it worked — I was able to travel to Morocco without any issues.

So the best thing is to contact the embassy near you and apply through them. They’ll tell you the documents you need and how long it takes.-https://morocco-evisa.org/emabssies-consulates-of-morocco/

Hie Mark, how did you complete this process, I am facing similar challenges just like Brenda, which document did you use as supporting document?

Hey Brenda!
I actually applied for the Morocco eVisa a few days ago myself, so hopefully this helps you too.

Since we’re both Zimbabwean citizens, we are eligible to apply for the Morocco eVisa but just a heads-up, they do ask for a few extra documents for our nationality. You can check the full list here: https://morocco-evisa.org/requirements-and-required-documents-for-morocco-visa/

Once you have everything ready, the application is pretty easy to complete online.-https://morocco-evisa.org/apply-evisa/

Hey Myself David,
Just sharing this because my boss recently had the same issue. We needed a Business eVisa for Morocco, and I went through the whole process myself.

I checked the website, selected the nationality, and applied for the Morocco Business eVisa. I also double-checked all the required documents, fees, and processing time. - https://morocco-evisa.org/requirements-and-required-documents-for-morocco-visa/.
Everything was correct, and my boss received the Business eVisa on time without any trouble.

So I’d suggest you first verify the requirements for your nationality and then apply directly from here:https://morocco-evisa.org/apply-evisa/

Hi Sherif!

I was actually helping a friend with the same Morocco visa question recently, so I totally get why it’s confusing — the rules depend a lot on where you’re living and what documents you hold.

Since you’re an Egyptian national living in the UK, here’s the simple information:

You can only apply for the Morocco e-Visa if you hold a valid UK residence permit ( old BRP card ), or UK Multiple-entry sticker visa ( old Stamped Sticker visa on your Passport) - not just a short stay or temporary entry.

If you already have that UK OLD BRP Card or stamped sticker visa on your passport, then yes — you’re eligible to apply online.

But if you don’t have a UK old BRP card or previous stamped sticker copy on your passport (since you mentioned you’ve been there for only two months), then the e-Visa won’t work for you.

In that case, the correct way is to apply through the Moroccan Embassy or Consulate in the UK, and they’ll process a regular sticker visa for you.

Hope this clears it up and points you in the right direction — wish you the best with your trip to Morocco!

Hello !
If you’re using a German travel document (not a regular German passport), then sadly you can’t apply for the Morocco e-Visa. The online system only accepts ordinary passports, so travel-document holders usually show up as “not eligible.”

I’ve seen this happen before the website doesn’t allow the application, so the only option is to get the visa directly from the Moroccan embassy or consulate. That’s how others with travel documents have done it, and it worked fine.

The embassy will tell you the documents you need and the exact fee. Once you apply there, you can get a sticker visa without any issue.-https://morocco-evisa.org/emabssies-consulates-of-morocco/
