Morocco will launch e-VISAs for foreigners coming from 49 countries in a move aimed to boost tourism, announced government spokesperson Mustapha Baitas.
The decision will enter into effect on July 10 and will affect travelers who are required to obtain visas to visit Morocco. Applications for electronic visas are set to be performed directly on a web platform and received online after 24 or 72 hours depending on the degree of urgency.
Three types of foreigners can benefit from the new service:
Foreigners residing in the European Union, the USA, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia will be able to apply directly on a platform that will be open to the public in the future and receive an electronic visa within 24 or 72 hours, depending on the degree of urgency.
Foreigners who previously held a visa from one of the countries mentioned above for a minimum of 90 days will also be able to benefit from this electronic visa.
Other countries, such as Thailand and Israel are also affected. The taxes relating to this visa will be published shortly in a ministerial decree.
The new service aims to facilitate foreigners’ access to Morocco and boost tourism.
