Apply well in advance
Moroccan visa processing can be slow, especially during peak travel seasons. Do not book non-refundable flights or hotels until you have the visa in hand.
No visa-free transit
Even if you are just transiting through Morocco and plan to leave the airport, you need a visa. There is no transit visa exemption for Taiwanese passport holders.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the Moroccan embassy or consulate
Find the nearest Moroccan embassy or consulate in Taiwan (or the one covering Taiwan, e.g., in Tokyo or another regional office). Call or email to confirm the exact application process and required documents — requirements can vary slightly by location.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: completed application form, passport photos, passport copy, flight itinerary, hotel bookings, bank statements, and travel insurance. Make copies of everything.
3
Submit your application in person or by mail
Submit the complete package to the embassy or consulate. Some may require an in-person appointment; others accept courier submissions. Pay the visa fee (typically around $30–$80 USD, depending on the embassy).
4
Wait for processing
Processing usually takes 7–14 business days. Check with the embassy for current timelines. Do not book non-refundable flights until you have the visa.
5
Collect your passport with visa
Once approved, collect your passport in person or have it mailed back. Verify the visa details (dates, validity) immediately.
6
Arrive in Morocco and go through immigration
At the airport (e.g., Casablanca CMN, Marrakech RAK), join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Have your passport, visa, return ticket, and hotel booking ready. The officer may ask your purpose of stay and where you're staying. Answer clearly.
