Morocco visa for Egyptians 2026: embassy and eVisa

📌 Last checked: May 2026 — Moroccan embassy Cairo, eVisa portal (acces-maroc.ma), and tourism fees for Egyptians.

If you're dreaming of exploring Marrakech or Casablanca, start by checking CAI → CMN flights on Vocafly. Make sure to set up your visa application before booking any non-refundable hotels. From insights gathered in 2026, common causes for application rejections or delays include short passport validity or recent large bank deposits, rather than relying on unofficial Facebook “tips”.

What is the Morocco visa for Egyptians?

If you hold an Egyptian passport, you'll likely need a pre-arranged entry visa for Morocco in most cases before traveling. Unlike Schengen or UK passports, Egyptians do not enjoy a general exemption. Your main options are through the Moroccan embassy in Cairo (involving a paper file and appointment) or the electronic portal if your nationality is listed and active there.

Tourist visas typically allow for a short stay (30 or 90 days depending on type, as indicated upon issuance). Work and study visas follow different procedures. Required documents generally include: a passport valid for 6+ months, two photos, an application form, return flight booking, hotel booking or invitation, a 3–6 month bank statement, and either an employer letter or university certificate with student sponsorship.

Are you eligible — and what gets rejected?

Scenario	Where to apply	Note
10-day Marrakech holiday	Embassy or eVisa	Check official list
CMN + Fez + Chefchaouen	One visa	State total stay length
Transit < 24 h at CMN	May not need entry	Do not leave lounge without visa
Morocco + Tunisia combo	Two visas	Separate systems

Who usually succeeds? Employees with a stable salary and consistent account statements, students with a clear university letter, and retirees with reasonable savings typically do well. Who gets rejected or delayed? Applications may be problematic if the passport is under 6 months, if there are large deposits just before the appointment, a cancelled hotel booking on Booking, or incorrect photo specifications.

Application from Egypt (2026)

1. Check the embassy website for the updated list of required documents and 2026 fees.
2. Book an appointment if needed, or follow the eVisa instructions.
3. Fill out the form, ensuring your data matches your passport (full name as in passport).
4. Prepare a paper + PDF file with your passport, photos, and financial statements.
5. Either attend in person or send your application through an accredited agent following embassy rules.
6. Pay the fees and save the receipt and file number.
7. Collect your passport or track the mailing; processing usually takes 5–15 working days (possibly longer during Ramadan or summer).
8. For CAI → CMN/RAK: bring your passport with a sticker/eVisa print, along with your return and accommodation address.

Note from 2026: some applications require travel insurance — verify with the official list. Avoid paying “agents” outside the embassy who promise “guaranteed visas”.

Arrival after approval

Your CAI–CMN flight will take around 5–6 hours with Royal Air Maroc / EgyptAir. On arrival at Mohammed V (CMN):

• Present your passport + visa (sticker or printed eVisa).
• Be prepared to answer questions about your stay length, hotel, and funds — a booking PDF is typically sufficient.
• Exchange some Moroccan dirham at the official airport counter; there's no need to carry a lot of cash.
• The same visa procedures apply at RAK (Marrakech) and TNG (Tangier).

Best time to apply and travel

Period	To apply	To travel
Jan–Mar	Faster processing	Cooler north — great for cities
Apr–May	Start 4 weeks ahead	Spring — moderate crowds
Jun–Aug	Peak — 3+ weeks	Hot in Marrakech — evenings are more pleasant
Ramadan	Limited embassy hours	Respect local schedules
Sep–Nov	Moderate	Strong tourist season

Field tips

• Bank statement: keep a stable balance and include a letter explaining any large transfers.
• Employer letter: ensure it includes the date, salary, approved leave, and a stamp — missing stamps can lead to rejection.
• Hotel: a free-cancellation booking is sufficient for your file — no need for full prepayment.
• eVisa: only use the official portal — beware of fake `.com` sites.
• Passport: avoid traveling before receiving the sticker or final eVisa print.

eVisa vs embassy: which for Egyptians?

Criterion	Cairo embassy	eVisa (if available)
Appointment	In person or agent	Online 24/7
Processing	5–15 working days	3–10 days (estimate)
Payment	Bank/embassy	Online card
Best for	Full paper file	Repeat travellers with Schengen history

Avoid unofficial `.com` sites — make sure it's a Moroccan government portal. If your eVisa gets rejected, try appealing through the embassy — don’t trust “alternative office” guarantees of approval.

Apply 4–6 weeks before events like Eid or Marrakech summer peak — queues at Cairo consulate and mail delays are common. Always keep copies of every document; sometimes the embassy requests an original stamped bank statement.

Common mistakes

1. Assuming “visa-free entry” for Egyptians — this is not applicable in 2026.
2. Having an empty account or making a sudden deposit before the appointment — these are red flags.
3. If your hotel booking is cancelled, be prepared to show proof if asked by the embassy or at the border.
4. Flying before your passport returns with the sticker.
5. Mixing Morocco travel with Tunisia or Algeria — each country requires a separate visa.
6. Submitting photos with non-white backgrounds — could lead to re-appointments.
7. Trying to travel with a 5-month passport — you’ll be denied at the CAI check-in.

Budget (one person)

Level	Cost	Includes
Basic	Fees + insurance	No flight
Medium	+ CAI–CMN	After approval — Vocafly
Full	+ 7 nights Marrakech	Short break
