Discover visa requirements for your trip
Moroccan nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to travel to Germany. Expect a fee of about €90 and processing of 15 to 45 days.
Morocco is subject to the Schengen visa requirement. A Moroccan applicant who wants to visit Germany for tourism must obtain a uniform Type C visa before departure. Germany must be your main destination or your first point of entry into the Schengen area.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Holders of a Moroccan passport must obtain a Schengen visa for tourist stays of no more than 90 days within any 180-day period. This short-stay (Type C) visa lets you move throughout the Schengen area, but it must be requested from Germany when Germany is your main destination.
How and where to apply
Apply through the German Embassy in Rabat or the Consulate General in Casablanca, or via the authorised visa centre that processes German files in Morocco. Complete the online form (VIDEX), book an appointment, and attend in person to give your biometrics. Confirm the current service provider (for example VFS Global) on the official website before you begin.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport, biometric photos, a return flight reservation, proof of accommodation in Germany, financial evidence and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000. The visa fee is usually €90 for an adult, payable when you submit. Check the exact amount and the document checklist on auswaertiges-amt.de.
Processing time and practical tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; apply no earlier than six months before departure and at least 15 days before your planned date. Appointments in Rabat and Casablanca can be slow to secure during high-demand periods, so plan ahead. Keep the submission receipt and tracking code issued by the visa centre.
Common mistakes and good to know
Many applicants lodge their file with the wrong Schengen state: choose Germany only if it is your main destination or first point of entry. Unsuitable travel insurance or insufficient proof of funds are among the most frequent grounds for refusal. Finally, check for any health requirements before you travel.
