Discover visa requirements for your trip
Moroccan nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa before travelling to Sweden for tourism. It allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen area.
Morocco is not on the Schengen visa-exempt list, so a Moroccan traveller wishing to visit Sweden must file a consular application from Morocco before departure. Sweden must be your main destination (where you spend the most nights) or your first point of entry into the Schengen area. Allow several weeks for processing.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. As a Moroccan passport holder you need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa for a tourist trip to Sweden. It covers a stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period throughout the Schengen area. Apply to Sweden when it is your main destination or your point of entry.
How and where to apply
In Morocco, Swedish visa applications go through the accredited partner (VFS Global), with centres in cities such as Rabat and Casablanca. Book an appointment online, complete the Schengen form, then attend in person for biometric capture (fingerprints and photo). Confirm the responsible centre and requirements on swedenabroad.se before you travel to the centre.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport (valid at least three months beyond your intended departure, with two blank pages), the signed form, a recent photo, travel medical insurance covering at least EUR 30,000, your itinerary, proof of accommodation and evidence of sufficient funds. The visa fee is typically EUR 90 for an adult; verify the exact amount and payment method with the official source.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days, so apply early — no earlier than six months and no later than 15 days before departure. A complete, consistent file (dates, bookings, funds) helps the decision. Do not buy non-refundable tickets until the visa is granted.
Common mistakes
Refusals often relate to insufficient insurance (below EUR 30,000), poorly documented funds, or applying to the wrong country when Sweden is not the main destination. Also watch out for late applications and inconsistent accommodation or itinerary evidence.
