The visa section will re-open to applicants on 4 August.

 

Due to significant backlog of applications, we expect long queues and will only be able to accept a limited number of applications each day for the next two weeks. To avoid lengthy waits, if you do not plan to travel in the next four weeks please apply nearer the time. We will ask evidence from applicants of their travel plans.

 

The British Embassy apologises for any inconvenience over the last three weeks. We continue to make every effort to deal with customers as quickly as possible.

 

Please visit www.visainfoservices.com for information about how to apply for a visa in Morocco.

 

Please note that telephones in the visa section are currently out of order.
