How to apply for a Morocco visa from Kenya

A step-by-step guide to the full application process — from your first consultation to collecting your visa. Includes the standard embassy route and the online eVisa route for qualifying applicants.

Step-by-step: applying at the Embassy of Morocco

For tourist, business, and student visa applicants. All steps must be completed before your embassy visit. Processing takes approximately 10 working days after submission.

01
Free consultation with Greentod
Contact Greentod by phone, WhatsApp, Zoom, or in person at our Mombasa and Nairobi office.s We will assess your situation and advise you on the right visa type, your eligibility, and your document requirements before you spend time or money preparing anything.
02
Receive your personalised document checklist
Based on your visa type and travel purpose, Greentod sends you a tailored checklist of every document you need — with notes on certification, format, and common mistakes to avoid. Not a generic list. Specific to your situation.
03
Gather and prepare your documents
Collect all required documents. Key items to prepare carefully:
  • Visit your bank to obtain a certified 3-month statement with the bank's official stamp
  • Book your hotel and return flight — dates on both must match exactly
  • Obtain travel insurance covering medical expenses and repatriation for your full trip duration
  • Take new passport-size photographs meeting the embassy's specifications
  • Make clear photocopies of your passport (all relevant pages) and National ID
04
Greentod drafts your cover letter
Your notarised cover letter is one of the most important documents in the entire application. It must clearly explain your travel purpose, full itinerary, financial capacity, employment status, and ties to Kenya. Greentod writes this for you — professionally, accurately, and formatted to embassy standards. You then have it notarised by a commissioner of oaths or notary public in Kenya.
05
Full pre-submission file review
Before you go to the embassy, Greentod reviews your complete application file — every document, every date, every name. We check for:
  • Missing or incomplete documents
  • Date inconsistencies across hotel bookings, flight itinerary, cover letter, and application form
  • Name or passport number discrepancies
  • Bank statement certification and date range issues
  • Travel insurance coverage gaps
06
Embassy visit briefing from Greentod
Greentod prepares you for your embassy visit. We tell you exactly what to expect, how to present your file, what questions you may be asked, and how to dress and carry yourself. Nothing about the embassy visit should feel surprising or stressful.
07
Submit your application in person
Submit your application at the Embassy of Morocco in Nairobi. You must attend in person — no third-party submission is accepted. Bring originals of all documents plus clearly labelled copies. The embassy will confirm receipt and give you a reference number for tracking.
08
Embassy processing — ~10 working days
The embassy processes your application. Processing typically takes approximately 10 working days, though this is not guaranteed. The embassy may contact you to request additional documents — Greentod will help you respond promptly and accurately if this happens. Avoid booking non-refundable travel until your visa is confirmed.
09
Collect your visa and travel
Once approved, collect your passport with the Morocco visa stamp from the embassy. Check all details immediately — your name spelling, passport number, visa validity dates, and entry type (single or multiple). If anything is incorrect, raise it at the embassy before leaving.

Online application — qualifying applicants only

For Kenyan passport holders who hold a valid visa from Australia, Canada, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, the UK, the US, or any Schengen country. No embassy visit required.

 
01
Confirm your eVisa eligibility
Contact Greentod and we will check whether your qualifying visa is still valid and whether it meets the eVisa eligibility criteria. This takes minutes and is completely free. Do not assume you qualify — we confirm it first.
02
Prepare your digital documents
Scan your passport bio-data page, your qualifying visa, and take a recent digital passport photograph (white background). All scans must be clear, complete, and legible — blurry or cut-off scans are a leading cause of eVisa delays.
03
Greentod reviews your application form
Before you submit, Greentod reviews your completed eVisa application form — checking that all personal details match your passport exactly and that travel information is consistent and correctly entered.
04
Submit online and pay the fee
Submit your application on the official Morocco eVisa portal and complete the online fee payment by card. Keep your application reference number safe for tracking purposes.
05
Receive your approved eVisa by email
Processing typically takes around 10 business days. Your approved eVisa is sent by email. Print it and carry a physical copy when you travel to Morocco — border officers may ask to see it on arrival.
Rejection prevention

Why Morocco visa applications get rejected

These are the most common reasons Kenyan applicants are refused a Morocco visa. Every one of them is avoidable with proper preparation.

01.
Incomplete documents

Missing items such as travel insurance, uncertified bank statements, or no National ID copy are an instant rejection trigger.

 
02.
Insufficient bank balance

Bank statements showing less than the USD 5,000 recommended balance, or irregular account activity, raise serious concerns.

03.
Date inconsistencies

Mismatched dates across the cover letter, hotel booking, flight itinerary, and application form are the single most common rejection cause.

04.
Weak cover letter

A vague, short, or poorly written cover letter that does not clearly explain your travel purpose and ties to Kenya significantly reduces approval chances.

 
05.
Passport validity issues

A passport expiring within 6 months of your intended return date, or a passport in poor condition with unclear details.

06.
No travel insurance

Travel insurance is mandatory. Submitting without it, or with insurance that does not cover the full trip duration, will result in rejection.
