Planning a trip to the vibrant land of the Kingdom of Morocco? If you’re holding a Belizean passport, you’ll want to understand exactly how the Moroccan eVisa works — what you can and cannot do, how to apply, and what to expect. This guide is tailored for Belize citizens and brings together all the key details in a friendly, conversational tone.
Do Belize citizens need a visa to travel to Morocco?
Yes. As of now, Belizean passport holders do need a visa to enter Morocco. A regular tourist visa or eVisa will be required, depending on your eligibility.
Even though the Morocco eVisa for Belize system exists, being eligible isn’t automatic — it depends on certain criteria (residency, visas in other countries, etc.) which we’ll unpack below.
Can Belize citizens apply for an eVisa?
Good question — and the answer is: It depends. The eVisa system for Morocco allows certain nationalities to apply online, but eligibility rules apply. For Belize citizens: according to one source, yes you can apply for the eVisa, provided you meet additional criteria (see next section).
However, another reference states that for Belize citizens a regular (sticker) visa may still be required.
Because of this slight contradiction or nuance, if you’re a Belize citizen you’ll want to check the official eVisa eligibility tool on the Moroccan portal.
What are the main eligibility criteria for a Belize citizen to get an eVisa?
If you’re a Belizean considering the Moroccan eVisa, here are the important eligibility criteria you need to check:
You must hold a Belize passport.
You must apply online via the Moroccan eVisa portal.
Key additional requirement: Many nationals (including countries like Belize) are eligible only if they either
Reside legally in a listed country (e.g., EU/Schengen, USA, UK, Canada, Australia, UAE, etc.) with a residence permit valid for at least 180 days at the time of application.
Or hold a multiple-entry visa for a listed country (Schengen, USA, UK, Canada, etc.) that is valid for at least 90 days from the application date.
Your Belize passport must be valid (usually at least six months beyond the date of entry into Morocco) and have blank pages for stamps.
You must use your ordinary passport (diplomatic/service passports may have different rules).
In short: if you are a Belize citizen and you also hold a qualifying residence permit or a multiple-entry visa from one of the eligible states, then you’re likely eligible for Morocco’s eVisa. If not, you may need to apply via the traditional visa route at an embassy or consulate.
What documents are required for the application?
Once you’ve determined you meet the eligibility, the following documents are generally required for the Morocco eVisa:
Passport Bio Page: Must be valid for at least 6 months from arrival.
Applicant Photo: Recent, in color, plain background, front-facing, neutral expression. No scanned passport photos.
One of the Following: a Residence Permit valid for more than 180 days or a Multiple-Entry Visa valid for more than 90 days issued by an eligible country.
For Business eVisa: Proof of business purpose (invitation letter, registration document, or meeting confirmation).
Always double-check the latest requirements on the official eVisa site, as document lists can change.
How can I apply for the Morocco eVisa from Belize?
Here’s a step-by-step of how a Belize citizen would apply for the Moroccan eVisa (assuming you meet eligibility):
Select Your Nationality at the Top of the Page
The system will show the eVisa types available for your passport. Choose the appropriate option and select Apply.Complete the Online Application Form
Enter your personal, passport, and travel information. Choose your processing speed.Upload the Required Documents
Attach your passport page, recent photo, and either a Residence Permit or Multiple-Entry Visa. Business applicants attach proof of business purpose.Pay and Submit
After payment, your application is reviewed. The approved eVisa will be sent to your email. Keep a digital or printed copy with your passport.
Because you’re applying from Belize, make sure you have all local payments and documents sorted ahead of time — it’s all online so you don’t generally have to visit a Moroccan embassy in person (unless your case requires a sticker visa).
Can I apply for my family members in one go?
Yes — in many cases the Moroccan eVisa system allows you to apply for multiple applicants in one session, which is handy if you’re travelling with family.
So if you’re a Belize citizen travelling with spouse, children or other dependents, you can often add them in the same application process — just ensure you have all their details and scanned documents ready too (passports, photos, etc.). Always check whether each family member meets their own eligibility criteria (especially if minors or different nationality).
How long is the eVisa valid for?
Good question — and one that many travellers ask. According to the available information:
Once approved, the Moroccan eVisa is typically valid for 180 days (i.e., you must enter Morocco within six months of issuance).
During that validity period you can travel, but your stay in Morocco is constrained (see next section).
So, from date of issue you have up to 6 months (approximately) to make your trip. But you cannot linger in Morocco beyond the stay period allowed by the visa.
How long can I stay in Morocco with an eVisa?
For Belize citizens (when eligible) using the Moroccan eVisa, the stay allowed is up to 30 days (for both tourist and business eVisas).
So while the visa gives you six months to travel, once you enter you are permitted to stay up to 30 days in Morocco under that eVisa.
Is the eVisa single or multiple entry?
The eVisa for Morocco in the context of Belize citizens is single entry only — meaning you enter once, stay up to the allowed period, and exit. You cannot leave and re-enter under the same eVisa.
If you plan to leave and re-enter Morocco, you may need a different type of visa or a multiple-entry visa via the embassy/consulate.
How long does the processing take?
Processing times can vary depending on the service level (standard vs rush) and your situation. For example:
One source states: Normal processing takes 3–6 days, Rush 2–4 days, Super-Rush 1–2 days.
Therefore, if possible apply well ahead of your travel date (at least a week or two). If you’re applying last minute, you may choose a rush option (if available and you’re willing to pay extra).
Can I extend my eVisa or stay longer than 30 days?
No, you cannot extend your Moroccan eVisa stay or stay beyond the 30 days allowed under that eVisa. The rules stipulate that the eVisa is for a stay of up to 30 days and cannot be extended.
If you wish to stay longer than 30 days in Morocco, you’ll typically need to apply for a different visa type (via the Moroccan diplomatic mission) or seek special permission locally once you’re in Morocco. But relying on an extension under the eVisa is not advisable.
Can I work in Morocco with a business eVisa?
No — the business eVisa for Morocco is not a work permit. It allows certain short-term business activities (meetings, conferences, trade shows) but does not allow paid employment or long-term work in Morocco.
If you are planning to work or take up employment in Morocco, you’ll need a proper work visa or permit, arranged via the Moroccan embassy/consulate or local authorities.
Do I need to print my approved Morocco eVisa?
Yes — it’s highly recommended (and in many cases required) to print your approved eVisa (or at least have a readily accessible digital copy) and carry it with you when travelling to Morocco. One guide explicitly states: “Yes, please print your approved visa and carry it with you when you travel.”
Even though it’s electronic, border authorities or airline staff may ask you for a printed copy, so it’s better to have it handy.
How can I track my Morocco eVisa application status?
Most Moroccan eVisa portals provide a tracking mechanism. For Belize citizens (and others) this often works as:
After application, you will receive an email confirmation with your Order ID or application reference.
Using that Order ID and your passport number, visit the eVisa portal’s “Check Status” page to see if your application is approved, pending, or requires extra documentation.
Some portals also send you an email update once your eVisa is processed.
So keep your confirmation email safe, and check periodically before travelling.
What happens if my Morocco eVisa application is rejected?
If your eVisa application for Morocco is rejected, here’s what to know:
You’ll usually receive a notification (often by email) stating that your application was refused or requires further documentation.
Review the reason indicated: it might be missing document(s), ineligibility (residence or visa criteria not met), passport validity issue, etc.
If you believe you are eligible, you can re-apply — ensuring you correct the error or supply the missing info.
If you were ineligible for the eVisa (for instance lacking the required residence permit or visa for the eligibility route), you may need to apply for a traditional Moroccan visa via the Moroccan embassy/consulate.
Avoid waiting until last minute to re-apply, as processing still takes time.
Remember: a rejection doesn’t necessarily reflect negatively on you personally — it often reflects that a specific eligibility criterion wasn’t met.
Do Belize citizens need a visa on arrival for Morocco?
No — Belize citizens cannot simply obtain a visa on arrival in Morocco (at least not under the eVisa scheme). The information indicates that for Belize passports, visa on arrival is not available.
So you should not plan on arriving in Morocco and getting a visa there. You should obtain the eVisa (if eligible) or apply for a regular visa in advance.
Do Belize citizens need travel insurance for Morocco when applying for eVisa?
While I did not find a specific requirement in the publicly listed eVisa eligibility conditions stating that travel insurance is mandatory for Belize citizens applying for the Moroccan eVisa, it’s a very smart idea to have travel insurance anyway. Good travel insurance helps cover medical issues, delays, lost baggage etc., and is often looked upon favourably by border or immigration officials.
So, before you fly:
Get travel insurance that covers health, trip cancellation, and other risks.
Have proof of the insurance (printouts or digital copies).
Carry other supporting documents (hotel booking, return ticket, sufficient funds) — even if not explicitly asked for, they strengthen your position at immigration.
Travel Tips (for Belize Citizens Going to Morocco)
Here are a few friendly travel tips to make your Morocco trip smoother:
Apply early: Don’t wait until the last minute. Even if standard processing is 3-7 days, unexpected delays happen.
Ensure all documents are accurate: Small mistakes (name spelling, passport number mismatch, invalid photo) can cause delays or rejection.
Print your eVisa: Even though it’s electronic, border staff may ask for a printed copy or a screenshot.
Have travel documents handy at arrival: Passport, printed eVisa, hotel booking, return ticket, proof of funds, travel insurance.
Know the rules of stay: If you enter on an eVisa, you have up to 30 days in Morocco. Don’t overstay, as that can lead to fines, difficulties on exit or on future visits.
Respect local customs: Morocco is culturally rich and somewhat conservative in places. Dress modestly in rural areas, be courteous in interactions, ask permission before taking photos of locals.
Plan your itinerary: Morocco has vibrant cities (like Chefchaouen, Marrakech), desert landscapes, coastal regions — plan your transport between them.
Currency and payments: The Moroccan Dirham (MAD) is the local currency. Have some cash for small purchases, and check with your bank about ATM access and fees.
Language: Arabic and French are widely spoken. English is used in tourist areas, but learning a few basic phrases in French or Arabic helps.
Stay safe: As with any travel, keep your passport and belongings safe, be aware of your surroundings, and follow local advice.
