| Proof of funds Recommended | Carry at least 5,000 MAD (about $500 USD) in cash or have a credit card statement showing available funds. Immigration rarely checks, but it helps if asked. | Recommended |
No visa on arrival or e-visa
Uzbek passport holders cannot get a visa at the border or online. You must apply at a Moroccan embassy before traveling. Plan at least 3–4 weeks ahead.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for 6 months from the day you land in Morocco, not from when you apply or when you leave. Check your expiry date now.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa at the Moroccan embassy
Contact the Moroccan embassy in Tashkent (or the nearest embassy if you're elsewhere) to submit your visa application. Provide your passport, photos, completed form, flight itinerary, and hotel booking. Processing takes 2–4 weeks.
2
Pack your documents
Before you leave for the airport, gather your passport with the visa sticker, return ticket confirmation, hotel booking, and travel insurance. Keep them in your carry-on.
3
Arrive at a Moroccan airport
At Casablanca (CMN), Marrakech (RAK), or other international airports, go to the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Hand over your passport and visa. The officer may ask for your return ticket and hotel address. Answer clearly. You'll get an entry stamp — no additional forms needed.
4
Activate your eSIM or buy a local SIM
If you have an Airalo eSIM, it activates automatically on landing. Otherwise, buy a SIM at the airport shop (e.g., Maroc Telecom, Orange) — costs about 50 MAD for 5GB.
