Do I need a transit visa for Morocco?
I am travelling from Montreal, Canada to Cairo, Egypt transitting in Casablanca for 13 hours. Have a hotel voucher. I hold a valid Egyptian passport and a 5 year valid visa to Canada and US. Do I need a transit visa for Casablanca touring for 12 hours? Having a hotel voucher from the carrier company Royal Air Maroc, to compensate for the long lay over, I have to move out of the airport premises. Then am I in need for a transit visa?
Best Answer
You'll need a visa only if you want to leave the airport.
National Egypt (EG) /Transit Morocco (MA) Destination Egypt (EG)
Visa required, except for Children under 17 years of age of any nationality , if having Moroccan parent(s) and being registered in parent's passport
TWOV (Transit Without Visa): ... Visa required, except for Holders of confirmed onward tickets for a max. transit time of 24 hours at Casablanca (CMN)
Since your layover is under 24 hours, you can transit without a visa if you stay in the airport, but you'll need a visa if you want to enter Morocco.
