Business, work or just passing through?

The rules above are for a holiday: tourism and visiting family and friends. Business visits, paid work and transit are covered separately below.

Business visits to Morocco

Not verified yet (not yet covered). We haven't verified the business rules for Malian passport holders, and we don't publish rules we haven't checked against an official source. A rule that is awaiting verification or not yet covered is not a negative visa decision: it only means we haven't confirmed it on an official source yet. Until then, see consulat.ma.

Working in Morocco

⚠ Not from an official source: items marked below come from secondary sources (law firms, employer-of-record guides, IOM, Wikipedia), not the destination government. They are not verified and may be out of date; confirm with the embassy or immigration authority.

Common tourist traps

  1. Swapped goods and card fraud

    How it works: Credit card fraud and scams are common, including sellers swapping what you bought for inferior goods.

    How to avoid it: Watch your card when you pay and check your purchase before leaving the shop.

  2. Bag-snatching and motorbike theft

    How it works: Pickpockets, bag-snatchers and thieves on motorbikes target visible jewellery and handbags in cities and on beaches.

    How to avoid it: Keep valuables out of sight, and be careful when asking for directions or using ATMs.

  3. Unlicensed ride-hailing taxis

    How it works: Many taxis booked through apps may be unlicensed and uninsured, and police may order you out of one.

    How to avoid it: Use licensed petit or grand taxis and agree the fare or check the meter.
