Morocco e-Visa for Pakistani Citizens

This is the single most important condition for Pakistani applicants. Because Pakistan cannot apply directly, you are eligible for the Morocco e-Visa only if you hold one of the following, issued by an approved country:

• A valid residence permit, valid for at least 180 days from the date of your e-Visa application; or
• A valid multiple-entry visa, valid for at least 90 days from the date of your e-Visa application.

The approved countries include the USA, Canada, the EU/Schengen Area, the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland and the UAE. In practice this makes the e-Visa especially useful for the large Pakistani diaspora living and working in Europe, North America and the Gulf. If you hold none of these documents, the e-Visa is not available to you and you must apply for a consular visa instead.

The right route for a Pakistani traveller depends entirely on whether you hold a qualifying residence permit or multiple-entry visa. Use this comparison to see which path applies to you:

• Who can use it: Pakistani citizens who hold a qualifying residence permit or multiple-entry visa from an approved country.
• Type: Electronic visa applied for online — issued as a PDF, not a sticker.
• Entries: Single entry.
• Length of stay: Up to 30 days.
• Validity: 180 days from the date of issue.
• Processing: Standard (around 72 hours) or Express (around 24 hours).
• Delivery: Approval is sent as a PDF by email.

The Morocco e-Visa is requested online, but you must still meet Morocco's entry conditions. Have the following ready before you apply, and keep them available for the airline and for the border officer on arrival:

• A valid Pakistani passport, valid for at least 6 months beyond your trip and with at least one blank page.
• A clear copy of your qualifying residence permit or multiple-entry visa from an approved country — this is the document that makes you eligible.
• A recent passport-style photo.
• A return or onward air ticket.
• Confirmed accommodation — a hotel booking, or an invitation if you will stay with friends or family.
• A valid email address — your e-Visa is sent here as a PDF.

1. Confirm you qualify: check that you hold a residence permit valid at least 180 days, or a multiple-entry visa valid at least 90 days, from the application date.
2. Get your documents ready: your Pakistani passport, a copy of the qualifying residence permit or multiple-entry visa, a recent photo, your return ticket and accommodation details.
3. Start the online Morocco e-Visa application and enter your passport and personal details exactly as they appear in your passport.
4. Add your trip information — arrival date, accommodation and contact email — and upload the required supporting documents.
5. Review every field carefully, choose Standard or Express processing, and submit your application.
6. Receive your approved e-Visa by email as a PDF, ready to show at check-in and on arrival.

Because the eligibility rule is tied to your residence permit or multiple-entry visa, double-check that it will still be valid for the required period at the moment you apply.

The Morocco e-Visa offers two processing options for Pakistani applicants. Standard processing is typically completed in around 72 hours, while Express processing is usually completed in around 24 hours for travellers on a tighter schedule. In both cases the approved e-Visa is emailed as a PDF. To stay on the safe side, apply well ahead of your flight rather than at the last minute, and respond quickly if any additional information is requested so your approval is not held up.

The Morocco e-Visa is issued as a single-entry visa. It is valid for 180 days from the date of issue, which is the window within which you must enter Morocco. Once you arrive, it allows a stay of up to 30 days. Because it is single entry, the visa is used up once you leave Morocco — if you plan to come and go more than once, the e-Visa will not cover a second entry. The visa is tied to the passport you used to apply, so if you renew or replace your passport you will need to apply again with the current document.

Your approved e-Visa gets you onto the plane, but entry is confirmed at the border only once a Moroccan officer is satisfied you meet the conditions. Be ready on arrival to present your valid Pakistani passport, your e-Visa PDF, the qualifying residence permit or multiple-entry visa you applied with, a return or onward ticket, and proof of confirmed accommodation. Carrying these in an easy-to-reach folder — printed or on your phone — makes the arrival process faster and smoother, and lets you quickly show the residence or visa document that underpins your eligibility.

• No qualifying residence or visa: the most common issue — without a valid US/UK/EU/UAE residence permit or multiple-entry visa, Pakistanis cannot use the e-Visa and must apply at a consulate.
• Residence or visa too close to expiry: the residence permit must be valid at least 180 days and the multiple-entry visa at least 90 days from the application date.
• Mismatched passport details: the e-Visa is linked to your exact passport number — check every field before submitting.
• Passport validity or blank page: your passport must be valid 6+ months and have a blank page.
• Missing accommodation or onward ticket: have a confirmed booking and a return or onward ticket ready.
• Applying too late: allow time for Standard or Express processing rather than waiting until departure day.

An approved e-Visa allows you to board your flight, but the final decision to enter Morocco rests with the border officer on arrival. Present the same passport you used to apply, along with your e-Visa PDF and the residence permit or multiple-entry visa that made you eligible, and be ready to explain the purpose and length of your visit, where you will stay, and your travel plans. Provided your documents are in order and consistent with your application, the officer will admit you and you can begin your stay of up to 30 days.

Every traveller needs their own Morocco e-Visa, including children and infants, because each one is linked to an individual passport. Importantly, the eligibility condition applies to each person separately: each family member must hold their own qualifying residence permit or multiple-entry visa to use the e-Visa. A parent or guardian can complete the application on a child's behalf using the child's own passport details. If a child does not hold a qualifying residence or visa of their own, you should check the consular visa route for that family member before you travel.
