Morocco is a North African country known for its rich history, vibrant markets, and diverse landscapes ranging from deserts to mountains.

Fun Fact: Morocco has the largest filming location outside of Hollywood. Iconic films such as Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, Mission Impossible, Casablanca and The Mummy were all partly filmed in Morocco. Most recently the nation served as a location for Game of Thrones too!

Moroccan Dirham

The currency used in Morocco is the Moroccan dirham (MAD), which was introduced in 1965 to replace the franc.

Africa

Africa is the second largest and second most populous continent, covering approximately 20% of the Earth’s surface and situated primarily between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Made up of 54 recognised countries, Africa is renowned for its diverse cultures, rich history, and vast natural resources, including the Sahara Desert, the Nile River, and the Serengeti Plain. The continent is cut almost equally in two by the Equator, meaning most of Africa lies within the tropical region, bounded on the north by the Tropic of Cancer and on the south by the Tropic of Capricorn.

Visa Guidelines

To be successful your content needs to be useful to your readers.

Start with the customer – find out what they want and give it to them.

​Visa applications? Not exactly riveting, but often essential and always unavoidable.

We’ve done the research and pulled everything together to save you time, effort, and energy.

In the tabs, you can check if your child or student needs a visa for their trip. If they do, you’ll find clear guidance, embassy links, required documents, and step-by-step instructions.

And when it comes to submitting the application, parents really are best placed. After all, no one knows the travelling student better.

Parents should ensure that their child's documents meet the official travel requirements for Morocco.

If your child holds multiple passports and plans to travel with one, while their UAE residency visa is linked to another, please make sure they carry both passports during their trip!

Review the sample documents and the relevant official checklists to ensure that all specific criteria are met.
