Morocco visa
 

hi!
I am planning to visit Morocco in few months time and as I am a Croatian citizen I asked about visa in Moroccan embassy in Budapest. They ask the following documentation:

- you must fill in an application form for asking the visa
- employment certificat
- copy of reservation in a hotel in Morocco
- copy of the airplane ticket
- 2 photos
- and you must pay 4.700 Forints (in Forint)

I'll be having some problems here as I am a student and don't work, I won't be coming to Morocco by plane but by ferry from Algeciras and also I don't want to make a hotel reservations in Morocco as before Morocco I'll be in Spain and Portugal and it is possible that I'll extend my stay there.

Is it easier to get Moroccan visa in embassy in Madrid or consulate in Sevilla as I'll be in each of those cities 2-3 days?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Vedran and welcome!

It is often easier to get a visa in a neighboring country than in your own country. So I think you will be able to get a visa in Spain, BUT since you don't have an airplane ticket, you will probably have to show evidence of sufficient funds for your stay. A valid credit card may be sufficient, or travellers cheques. If you can get a letter from your school stating that you are a full-time student, or a student ID card, that will help.

Most countries visa requirements are designed to ensure that people don't come in on a visa and then decide to stay in the country and go on public assistance/welfare. So it also helps to look respectable and clean cut (get a haircut before you go to the embassy).

I would ask the Moroccan embassy in Croatia whether a student visa is available, which will be easier for you to obtain, and possibly cheaper. If not, and they insist on employment status, then you will have to take your chances in Spain.

Good luck and let us know how you go.
