Morocco eVisa for UK Residents: Eligibility, Fee and Steps

TL;DR

If your passport needs a visa for Morocco and you live in the UK with a residence permit valid for at least 180 more days, you can apply for Morocco's eVisa on www.acces-maroc.ma: single entry, up to 30 days, valid 180 days from issue, processed in 24 hours (express) or 72 hours (standard) on Moroccan working days. Indian passports qualify directly. You pay the fee on the portal. British citizens need no visa for 90 days.

Who does not need a visa for Morocco

British citizens can visit Morocco without a visa for up to 90 days for tourism, and gov.uk asks for a passport that expires at least three months after arrival. If you hold a British citizen passport there is nothing to apply for and nothing for us to sell. Many other passports are exempt as well, but the consulate's exemption list was unreachable when we checked on 23 October 2026, so rather than copy a list we could not verify we point you to the portal's own checker. On the home page of www.acces-maroc.ma you enter your nationality, country of residence, passport type, purpose and any other visa you hold, and it tells you one of four things: you are not subject to a visa, you must apply at a consulate, you need an electronic travel authorisation (AEVM), or you can have an eVisa.

Who can get the eVisa: the three categories

The portal's conditions of use, dated August 2024, set out three categories, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' launch statement of July 2022 describes the same structure.

Category A is by passport: citizens of Azerbaijan, Benin, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Guatemala, India, Jordan, Laos, Israel, Thailand and Vietnam, holding an ordinary passport valid for at least 90 days from the application date. An Indian passport holder living in the UK qualifies here without any residence test.

Category B is by residence: foreign citizens whose passport needs a visa and who live in the European Union, the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, Norway, New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates or Switzerland, with an ordinary passport valid at least 90 days from the application and a residency card or residency permit valid for at least 180 days on the date of the application. The conditions are explicit about what does not count: receipts of application, renewal or extension of residence cards, special certificates, work permits, circulation documents and other documents are not accepted. This is the route for most Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Nepalese, Nigerian, Ghanaian and Kenyan residents of the UK whose passport the checker says needs a visa.

Category C is by visa: holders of a non-electronic, multiple-entry visa from a Schengen country, the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan, Canada, Norway or New Zealand, valid for at least 90 days from the application date, again with a passport valid at least 90 days. A UK resident who has just been issued a multiple-entry Schengen visa for a European trip may use it here.

Only ordinary passports are accepted. Diplomatic, service and special passports, and travel documents for refugees and stateless persons, go to the embassy or consulate.

The UK residence card question

The conditions ask for a clear colour copy of the residence card or residence permit, double-sided. Since BRP cards expired, most UK residents hold a digital status instead, proved by a share code. No official Moroccan page we have read says how the portal treats a UK digital status. We check it on the portal before we start work, and if the portal cannot accept your proof we refund in full. If you still hold a BRP or another physical card that is valid for at least 180 more days, keep it, scan it both sides, and carry it with you.

Validity, stay and purpose

The eVisa is valid for a maximum of 180 days from the date of issue, for a single entry and a stay not exceeding 30 days. You cannot add together the stays of several eVisas: you must leave at the end of the first stay before a new one. It is issued for tourism or business, and a business application needs a document showing the purpose, such as an invitation from a Moroccan company or the organiser of a fair. The holder cannot apply for residency, and a minor under 18 may enter only with a parent or legal representative. The conditions also say what every visa says: an eVisa does not confer an irrevocable right of entry, and the border officer may refuse anyone who does not meet the conditions.

Processing time

The portal commits to 24 hours for the express visa and 72 hours for the standard visa, both counted in working days in Morocco, and says the deadline does not apply to incomplete applications or to applications containing false information. In practice that means a complete, legible file on the standard track beats a hurried express one. The status in your account moves between In Process, Waiting to be completed and Application Refused, and the portal emails you at each change.

The fee, and where you pay it

There are two prices, Express and Standard, chosen at the payment step. The portal's user guide shows the applicant redirected to the payment site of the Trésorerie Générale du Royaume, Morocco's treasury, to pay by bank card, after which the file moves to In Process. Once validated and paid, a request cannot be cancelled or refunded under any circumstances. We could not read the amounts on an official page on 23 October 2026, so we quote none here; the portal shows them before you pay. You can apply yourself on www.acces-maroc.ma for that fee alone.

Documents, and the 1 MB limit

The conditions list a colour photo of 35 by 45 mm taken within the last six months to ICAO standards, a clear colour copy of the passport's identity and validity pages, a double-sided copy of the residence card for Category B, a copy of the qualifying visa for Category C, and a purpose document for business. Attachments must be jpg, jpeg or pdf and no larger than 1 MB each; our Compressor brings a phone scan under that limit without losing legibility. A family or group should be grouped into a single file so the applications are processed together, and the user guide allows up to ten applications per file.

At the border you present the eVisa with your passport and, if asked, the residence card or visa you applied with, a return ticket, proof of means (an international bank card or the equivalent of more than 70 euros in cash per person per day) and insurance covering hospital care and repatriation for the stay. The Bundler keeps those in one file.

Our £29 prepared-for-you service

We run the checker with you, then prepare the application in your own portal account, ready for you to check and submit, within 24 hours of your complete details, or your service fee back. You check every answer, it is submitted on your say-so, and you pay the official fee on the portal at the payment step; we never take or enter card details. Along the way we size every attachment to the limit, check your passport against the 90-day rule and your residence permit against the 180-day rule. The fee is £29 per applicant and £29 for each additional applicant, up to five on one order, with a full refund if you cancel before we start work or if the route turns out to be closed to you. The Moroccan authorities alone decide the outcome. Start at the plan step, compare the three destinations in eVisa or embassy visa, or read more on the eVisa hub.
