Nearly half a million people have turned to Morocco’s e-visa platform over the past three years, a figure that shows the rising interest in the country and the growing impact of its digital shift in consular services.
The platform processed 187,895 applications in its third year alone.
The increase compared to the previous year signals that the system has reached a new level of maturity and that more travelers are choosing it as a reliable and efficient entry point to Morocco.
Tourism accounts for the overwhelming majority of applications. About 94.1% of e-visas were granted for tourism purposes, confirming the platform’s importance in supporting Morocco’s appeal as a travel destination.
About 5.9 percent of e-visas went to business travelers, showing how the platform also supports Morocco’s economic ties and growing network of international partnerships.
Open to 118 nationalities, the service offers two formats. The standard visa is processed within 72 hours, while the express version delivers approval in just 24.
For many travelers, this efficiency has turned what was once a complex procedure into something simple and accessible.
The e-visa has also proven its value during major international events held in Morocco.
When the country hosted the 2023 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in Marrakech, people from 109 countries used the platform.
The GITEX Africa Morocco editions followed suit, welcoming participants from 118 nationalities in 2024 and 117 in 2025.
Its growing success now feeds into Morocco’s preparation as a co-host of the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
With a system that eases entry and opens the door to more visitors, Morocco strengthens its ability to receive fans and delegates from around the world and rise to the scale of the event.
