When you decide to go on a trip to some country, the first question that pops up in your mind is: "Do I need a visa?". Probably, this is due to the fact that the visa is difficult to issue, although you can not say that there is too much for this process.
So, you are going to go to Morocco. The first question: "Do I need a visa in Morocco?". A unequivocal answer can not be given, as for Russians and Ukrainians completely different conditions for entry into Morocco. Let's examine this issue in more detail.
Morocco visa for Russians
The government of Morocco has decided to attract Russian tourists to its African penates, so for Russian citizens a visa is not needed in Morocco if the duration of the trip does not exceed 90 days.
The only thing that is required is to present some documents on the border:
- overseas passport, the validity of which is bound to exceed the time of your trip;
- correctly filled migration card, which is distributed in airplanes;
- return tickets and confirmation of your solvency - these documents are very rarely asked, but just in case they need to be carried, because, perhaps, you will be lucky enough to stumble upon a meticulous customs officer.
No consular fees from Russians are charged. You just get a pretty stamp in your passport and can safely enjoy the beauties of Morocco, thanks to the government for such a sweet attitude towards Russian citizens.
Morocco visa for Ukrainians
Citizens of Ukraine to enter Morocco need a visa, which must be pre-registered at the embassy. For registration of the Moroccan visa you will need the following documents:
- a questionnaire to be downloaded on the embassy's website and filled in block letters in English or French;
- two color photographs 4x3 cm;
- internal passport, with a photocopy attached to it;
- overseas passport, the validity of which should exceed the time of your stay in Morocco, plus - a photocopy;
- copy of identification code;
- plane tickets in both directions;
- confirmation of hotel reservation or voucher;
- a certificate from the workplace or an extract from the bank, confirming that you have the financial means to stay in Morocco;
- insurance that will ensure your treatment, if something happens to you;
- for people of retirement age - a pension certificate, as well as a copy of it;
- private entrepreneurs are required to provide a copy of the certificate of registration of PE, as well as a certificate of payment of taxes - plus a copy of it.
The filing of documents must be done personally, but also, if you can not do it, documents can be submitted by someone else, but you must write a power of attorney.
How much does a visa in Morocco cost? The cost of a visa is 25 euros. For children under 13 years old who are pasted into the parent's passport, the visa is free, and after 13 - at the standard rate.
A week after the filing of documents, you can already pick up your documents with a nice print, allowing you to enter the territory of Morocco.
In principle, obtaining a visa in Morocco is quite a simple matter, and most importantly - a fast one. A week is a standard waiting period, so you can plan everything without worrying that unexpectedly a visa can be delayed. In addition, a visa in Morocco is still much easier to get than a visa to some European countries of Schengen .
