Pakistan passport holders need a visa to enter Morocco in 2026. You must apply at a Moroccan embassy or consulate before you travel — there is no visa on arrival or e-visa option for Pakistani citizens.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Apply at Moroccan embassy or consulate | You need a visa before traveling to Morocco. Apply at the Moroccan embassy or consulate in your country of residence. Processing takes 5–10 working days, and you must submit your passport in person or via an authorized visa center.Visa info & application | Required |
| Valid passport Must have 6 months validity beyond your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Morocco. Airlines check this strictly at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa holders | Immigration officers routinely ask for proof of a return or onward flight. Have a printed or digital copy of your ticket ready. Without it, you risk being refused entry at the border. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation letter | Carry a confirmed hotel reservation for your entire stay, or a letter of invitation from your host. Immigration may ask for this during the visa application process or at the border. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statements or cash | Show you have enough money for your trip — around 500 MAD per day (roughly $50 USD) is a safe benchmark. A recent bank statement or a credit card with sufficient limit works. | Recommended |
Visa required — no exceptions
Pakistani passport holders cannot enter Morocco without a pre-approved visa. There is no visa on arrival, no e-visa, and no visa waiver. Apply well in advance.
Keep digital copies of everything
Save scans of your passport, visa, flight tickets, hotel bookings, and insurance on your phone and in cloud storage. If you lose your passport, these copies make replacement much faster.
