eVisa required — no visa on arrival
Moroccan passport holders cannot get a visa at the airport. You must have an approved eVisa before you fly. Airlines will check this at check-in.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Libya, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it first.

Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Libyan eVisa portal (if available) or use a trusted visa service. Fill in your details, upload a passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (exact cost varies — check the portal). Wait for approval, which can take 3–7 business days.

Arrive at Tripoli Mitiga Airport (or other entry point)
At immigration, present your passport, printed eVisa, and return ticket. You may be asked for your hotel address. The officer will stamp your passport. The process is usually straightforward if your documents are in order.
