How to Apply Morocco Visa for UAE Residents from Dubai in 2025
If you’re a UAE resident planning to explore Morocco, applying for a visa has become easier with the new e-visa option, available through Morocco’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs online platform.
Designed for tourism and business trips, this e-visa is valid for six months, allowing you to stay for up to 30 days at a time. To qualify, you’ll need a valid Emirates ID, a UAE residence permit with at least 180 days remaining, and a passport that’s valid for at least 90 days from your application date.
In this guide, I will share with each step of the e-visa application process, providing clear instructions on filling out the online form, submitting essential documents, and understanding the requirements.
If you’re a UAE national, you’re in luck—no visa is required for entering Morocco, and you can enjoy a 90-day stay without any additional paperwork.
However, if you’re a UAE resident and not a UAE national, Morocco now offers a convenient e-visa option that makes travel simpler.
The e-visa is designed as a single-entry visa and is valid for up to 180 days from the date of issuance, allowing UAE residents to stay in Morocco for up to 30 days per visit. The online application is quick and accessible, streamlining the process so you can plan your journey with ease.
Moroccan E-Visa Document Requirements for UAE Residents
If you’re a UAE resident planning a trip to Morocco, applying for an e-visa is straightforward, but you’ll need specific documents to ensure smooth processing. First, you must have a valid Emirates ID and a UAE residence permit with at least 180 days of validity from your application date. Additionally, your passport must be valid for at least 90 days beyond the e-visa submission date.
The e-visa also requires a few more essentials to confirm your eligibility and travel plans. You’ll need to provide evidence that your trip is for tourism purposes, along with a return ticket and a confirmed hotel reservation or invitation from someone in Morocco.
Financial proof is another requirement, with a minimum daily budget of EUR 70 recommended to demonstrate that you can comfortably cover your stay.
