Visa for Japan from Morocco: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes, a consular visa is mandatory for travelers from Morocco to Japan. The application must be made prior to departure at the embassy or consulate. The permitted stay duration is 90 days.

The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.

• Government fee15,000-30,000 JPY

  Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.

• Application centre feeVariable, set by the operator

  Only when the post uses an external centre. The amount is set locally and we do not publish a figure we cannot verify.

• Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top

  Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.

• ExtrasVariable

  Courier return, SMS tracking, compliant photo, insurance, sworn translation or legalisation, depending on what the post requires.

We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.

The standard dossier includes the application form, two recent passport-sized photos, and supporting documents such as proof of accommodation, financial resources, and travel insurance. For exact fee details, consult the official embassy or consulate portal.

The visa application must be submitted in person or by mail at the embassy or consulate of Japan. It is recommended to schedule an appointment in advance via the official portal. The application must be completed before departure, as no e-visa or visa on arrival is available.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Morocco, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Morocco but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing times vary depending on the country and season. It is advisable to submit the application several weeks in advance. Do not purchase flight tickets or book accommodation before obtaining the visa.

Failing to respect the submission deadline can lead to refusal. Omitting required documents or incorrectly filling out the form may cause delays or rejection. Always verify official instructions before submitting your application.
