What the official pages say about the Morocco e-Visa photo

Morocco's electronic visa gives one person a single entry for tourism or business, for a stay of at most 30 days, requested at acces-maroc.ma. Three groups qualify with an ordinary passport valid 90 days or more: citizens of eleven listed countries, such as India, Thailand and Vietnam; visa-required residents of the EU, the US, the UK, Canada, the UAE and other listed countries with a residence permit valid 180 days; and holders of a multiple-entry Schengen, US, UK or similar visa valid 90 days. Issue takes 72 hours on Moroccan working days, or 24 for express, and paid requests are not refunded.

The portal's conditions ask for a good-quality colour photo of 35 × 45 mm, under six months old, showing the face clearly to ICAO standards, plus a colour copy of the passport identity pages. Each scan must be jpg, jpeg or pdf, 1 MB or less. Your account then shows the file as in process, waiting to be completed, or refused. A child under 18 may enter only with a parent or legal representative, and families should group their applications in one file. Glasses and head coverings are not mentioned.

What file size does the Morocco e-Visa photo need to be?

What background colour does the Morocco e-Visa photo need?

Plain and light-coloured. Stand in front of a plain wall with no pattern, and face a window so there are no shadows behind you. If your wall is not plain enough, the photo maker on this page can make the background white with an AI that runs on your device. Check the edges around your hair afterwards.

How big should my head be in the Morocco e-Visa photo?

From the chin to the top of the head, your head should fill 70% to 80% of the photo height. The official rules do not state this, so we use the international (ICAO) guideline. The face guide in the tool shows both lines.

Yes, if you need a visa for Morocco and hold a non-electronic, multiple-entry visa from Schengen, the US, Australia, the UK, Ireland, Japan, Canada, Norway or New Zealand, valid for at least 90 days from the application date. Attach a clear colour copy of that visa with your passport copy and photo.

JPG. SafeResize saves a JPG (JPEG) file.

Can I take this photo at home?
