  • Student visa (VISA DE LONG SÉJOUR POUR ÉTUDES): For study programs; duration aligned with the academic term; single or multiple entry as issued; fees similar to other short/long-stay visas; processing times longer due to school verification.
  • Work visa (VISA DE LONG SÉJOUR – TRAVAIL): Requires a valid work permit/contract; processing may take longer due to labor approval; fees similar to other visa types.
  • Other short-term visas (e.g., conferences, official visits): Category-specific names and durations; always check the exact wording and requirements with the consulate handling your jurisdiction.

How to apply

  • How to apply (Sticker visa): Go to the official Moroccan visa portal via consulat.ma to find the visa application form and instructions; complete the form, gather all required documents, and submit in person at the relevant Moroccan embassy/consulate or through their designated visa service point as directed by the consulate.
  • Steps:
  • 1) Determine the correct consulate based on your jurisdiction and appointment options.
  • 2) Compile all documents including the completed form, passport, photos, financial proofs, invitation/host letters, and travel itinerary.
  • 3) Pay the visa fee at the consulate (in local currency or as directed); keep the payment receipt.
  • 4) Submit your application in person or by mail as allowed; schedule biometrics if required.
  • 5) Attend any required interview or appointment at the consulate.
  • 6) Collect passport if approved; visa stamp or sticker will be placed inside the passport, along with any notes about entry conditions.
  • How to apply: If your jurisdiction allows, use consulat.ma for forms and embassy contact details; if the consulate requires in-person submission or a VFS/BLS-type service, follow their specific process and fees.
  • Important notes: Some Afghanistan-based applicants may need to apply through a Moroccan embassy/consulate in a neighboring country or through a regional visa center; verify the exact process for your location on consulat.ma and diplomatie.ma.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: approximately USD 60–100 per application (local currency equivalent; check the exact amount at the consulate during submission).
  • Local currency equivalent: MAD 600–900 (approximate, varies by rate and consulate).
  • VFS/BLS or service fees: If a third-party visa center is used, expect an additional service fee (check the center's published amounts).
  • Total cost estimate: Visa fee + any service charges; add optional mailing or courier costs if the consulate offers home delivery.
  • Standard processing time: Typically 7–15 working days after submission; some cases may take longer (2–4 weeks) depending on documentation and consulate workload.
  • Express/priority option: Some consulates offer expedited processing at extra cost; availability and price vary by location.
  • Note: Fees and times are determined by the Moroccan embassy/consulate that handles your jurisdiction; verify on consulat.ma before applying.

Tips for Afghanistan travelers

  • Apply well in advance: Start the visa process at least 6–8 weeks before your planned travel date to account for processing time and potential document verification.
  • Common rejection reasons specific to Afghan applicants: Incomplete or inconsistent documents, insufficient proof of funds or ties to Afghanistan, passport validity issues (not meeting the 6-month rule), inadequate host/invitation details, missing travel itinerary, or failure to demonstrate purpose of visit.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: Some jurisdictions use direct embassy submissions; others rely on a dedicated visa center. Check your consulate’s requirements on consulat.ma and follow the exact submission method indicated for your jurisdiction.
  • Travel advisories and bilateral notes: Always check the Moroccan MFA site via diplomatie.ma for any travel advisories, and consult your own government’s travel advisories for Afghanistan before departure.
  • Extension options inside Morocco: If you obtain a short-stay visa, extensions may be possible at the local prefecture or regional police office; extensions are not guaranteed and typically require justification (e.g., ongoing business or study) and documentation; apply before the initial visa expires.
