Morocco Visa for Egyptians: What You Need in 2026

Yes, Egyptian passport holders need a visa to enter Morocco. Egypt is not on Morocco's visa-exempt list, so you cannot simply show up at Casablanca or Marrakech airport without one. The good news is that Morocco operates an e-Visa system, which means you may be able to apply online rather than visiting a consulate in person, depending on your eligibility.

The standard Morocco e-Visa covers a single-entry stay of up to 30 days and carries a fee of 770 MAD (roughly $79 USD). An express option, processed in around one business day, costs 1,100 MAD (roughly $113 USD). Always verify the current fee at the time of application, as rates can shift with exchange fluctuations.

If you're not eligible for the e-Visa route, you'll apply through the Moroccan embassy or consulate in Cairo. Either way, plan at least 3 business days for standard e-Visa processing, and longer if you're going the in-person consular route. Confirm the current rules directly with Morocco's Ministry of Foreign Affairs before booking your flights.

There is one faster path worth knowing. If you hold a valid multi-entry visa or residence permit from the Schengen Area, the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, you qualify for Morocco's e-Visa under the government's conditional waiver program. The Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs launched this online system in July 2022 via the platform acces-maroc.ma. Processing runs between 24 and 72 hours, and the visa covers stays of up to 30 days, with validity stretching up to 180 days from the date of issue.

Egyptian travelers who do not hold one of those supporting documents must go the consulate route. Plan for at least 2 to 3 weeks of lead time before your trip to gather documents and complete the appointment. The Moroccan consulate in Cairo is the primary point of contact; verify current appointment availability and any processing-time updates directly with the consulate before booking flights.

Always confirm the latest rules at the official Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal or with the consulate before you apply, as visa policies can shift with little notice.

Start by checking which route applies to you. Most Egyptian passport holders must apply through the Moroccan Embassy in Cairo. If you also hold a valid multi-entry Schengen, US, or UK visa (valid for at least 90 days from your Morocco arrival date), or a valid residence permit from the EU, US, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, Norway, or UAE, you qualify for the online e-Visa route instead, per the official Accès Maroc portal.

To apply via the e-Visa on Accès Maroc, follow these steps:

• Step 1. Confirm eligibility. Run the checker at acces-maroc.ma. Enter your nationality, residence country, and supporting visa or permit details.
• Step 2. Create an account and start your application. Fill in personal details exactly as they appear on your passport.
• Step 3. Upload documents. You need a colour scan of your ordinary passport (valid at least 90 days beyond arrival), a passport-style photo meeting ICAO standards, a clear copy of your qualifying multi-entry visa or permit, proof of accommodation, and a return ticket.
• Step 4. Pay the fee. Standard processing costs MAD 770 and takes 3 business days. Express processing costs MAD 1,100 and takes 1 business day. Check today's MAD-to-EGP rate at cbe.org.eg before paying. Apply only through acces-maroc.ma, as third-party sites charge significantly more.
• Step 5. Track your application. Log back into acces-maroc.ma with your reference number. You receive a decision by email. Print or save the approved e-Visa and carry it at the border alongside the supporting visa or permit.

If you do not qualify for the e-Visa, apply in person at the Moroccan Embassy in Cairo. Bring a valid passport, completed application form, photos, proof of funds, hotel bookings, a return ticket, travel insurance, and any additional documents the embassy requests. Embassy processing typically runs 1 to 3 weeks, so apply well before your travel date.
