Morocco Visa Requirements

Morocco, a captivating North African country, boasts a rich tapestry of history, culture, and diverse landscapes. From the bustling souks and ancient medinas of Marrakech to the golden sands of the Sahara Desert, Morocco offers an unforgettable experience for every type of traveller. Whether you're exploring the Atlas Mountains, savouring traditional Moroccan cuisine, or shopping for handmade crafts, Morocco has something for everyone. However, before you begin your adventure in this fascinating country, it's essential to understand the visa requirements.

Indian nationals require a valid visa to enter Morocco. The type of visa needed depends on the purpose of the visit. A tourist visa allows visitors to travel to Morocco for leisure, sightseeing, or other non-business-related activities for up to 90 days. Since Morocco is part of the Schengen Area, Indian citizens must apply for a Schengen visa prior to their trip, as a valid visa is mandatory for entry.
