Frequently asked questions
No. Sudan does not offer visa on arrival for Moroccan citizens. You must obtain a visa before you travel.
Processing typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. Apply well in advance of your planned travel date. Some embassies may offer expedited processing for an additional fee.
The Sudanese Embassy in Rabat handles visa applications for Moroccan residents. Address: 10 Rue de la Mosquée, Rabat. Phone: +212 537 70 00 00. Check their website or call for current requirements and appointment procedures.
You'll typically need: a valid passport (6+ months validity), completed application form, 2 passport-sized photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking, and a letter of invitation if visiting friends/family. Some embassies may also ask for proof of funds or a yellow fever vaccination certificate.
It is not always required for the visa application, but it is strongly recommended. Medical facilities in Sudan are limited, and evacuation insurance can be a lifesaver in an emergency.
Extensions are possible but not guaranteed. You must apply at the Passport and Immigration Department in Khartoum before your visa expires. The process can be bureaucratic, so plan accordingly.
Sudan requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you are arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Morocco is not a risk country, but if you have recently traveled to an affected area, you may need proof. Check with the embassy.
