Are you a Nigerian planning to visit Morocco in 2026? Morocco is one of Africa’s most magical and culturally rich destinations — from the legendary souks and riads of Marrakech to the sweeping sand dunes of the Sahara Desert, the coastal charm of Casablanca and the ancient medina of Fes. Thousands of Nigerians visit Morocco every year and SeedRoyal Travels offers complete Morocco tour packages from Lagos.
However knowing how to get a Morocco visa from Nigeria in 2026 requires understanding the two different visa options available — the Morocco Sticker Visa and the Morocco eVisa. This complete guide explains both options clearly so you can apply the right way.
Do Nigerians Need a Visa for Morocco?
Yes. Nigerian passport holders require a visa to enter Morocco for all purposes including tourism, business and family visits. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival arrangement between Nigeria and Morocco.
In 2026 there are two visa pathways for Nigerians visiting Morocco:
- Morocco Sticker Visa — for all Nigerian passport holders regardless of other visas held
- Morocco eVisa — only available to Nigerians who hold a valid visa or residence permit from eligible countries
Option 1 — Morocco Sticker Visa (Available to ALL Nigerians)
The Morocco Sticker Visa — also called the Consular Visa or Embassy Visa — is a traditional visa physically stamped inside your Nigerian passport. This option is available to ALL Nigerian passport holders regardless of what other visas you hold.
What is the Morocco Sticker Visa?
The Morocco Sticker Visa is issued by the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco in Abuja. It is a short-stay tourist visa that allows you to visit Morocco for tourism, visiting friends or family or short business visits.
Key facts about the Morocco Sticker Visa:
- Valid for 3 months from the date of issue
- Must be used within 90 days of issuance
- Allows a short-term stay in Morocco
- Applicants are NOT required to be present in person — applications can be submitted through a representative or by mail
- Processing time is typically 5 to 10 working days
Morocco Sticker Visa Requirements for Nigerians
To apply for the Morocco Sticker Visa from Nigeria you will need the following documents:
- Valid Nigerian passport with minimum 6 months validity beyond your intended stay in Morocco — the passport must have at least one blank page for visa stamps
- Completed Morocco visa application form — available from the Moroccan Embassy in Abuja
- Recent passport photographs meeting the embassy’s specifications
- Confirmed return flight ticket or travel itinerary
- Hotel booking or proof of accommodation in Morocco for your entire stay
- Bank statements showing sufficient funds to cover your stay in Morocco
- Proof of employment or business — letter from employer, pay slips or CAC certificate for business owners
- Travel insurance
- Proof of ties to Nigeria — employment letter, property ownership, family ties
If any of your documents are in a language other than English or French they must be officially translated before submission.
How to Apply for the Morocco Sticker Visa
- Gather all required documents
- Complete the Morocco visa application form
- Submit your application in person or through a representative at the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco in Abuja — or by mail
- Pay the visa application fee at the time of submission
- Wait for processing — typically 5 to 10 working days
- Collect your passport with the visa sticker once approved

Option 2 — Morocco eVisa (For Eligible Nigerians Only)
The Morocco eVisa is an electronic travel authorisation introduced by the Moroccan Government to simplify entry for eligible travellers. It is processed entirely online and is faster and more convenient than the sticker visa — however it is only available to Nigerians who meet strict eligibility criteria.
Who is Eligible for the Morocco eVisa?
Nigerian passport holders are eligible for the Morocco eVisa only if they hold ONE of the following:
- A valid multiple-entry visa from the USA
- A valid multiple-entry visa from the UK
- A valid multiple-entry visa from Canada
- A valid multiple-entry visa from a Schengen country
- A valid multiple-entry visa from the UAE
- A valid multiple-entry visa from Australia
- A valid residence permit from any of the above countries
If you do not hold any of the above — you must apply for the Morocco Sticker Visa through the Moroccan Embassy in Abuja. The eVisa is not available to you.
Morocco eVisa Requirements for Nigerians
If you are eligible, here is what you need for the Morocco eVisa:
- Valid Nigerian passport — minimum 6 months validity, high-resolution scan of the data page
- Recent passport photograph — white background, JPEG or PNG format
- Valid multiple-entry visa or residence permit from an eligible country (USA, UK, Canada, Schengen, UAE, Australia)
- Confirmed return flight booking
- Hotel accommodation booking in Morocco
- Travel insurance
Morocco eVisa Processing Time
The Morocco eVisa is processed faster than the sticker visa. Apply at least 7 days before your travel date to avoid last-minute issues. Contact SeedRoyal Travels for the current processing time.
