In an era where the need for frequent and rapid travel is on the rise—whether for professional, family, or educational purposes—the multiple-entry visa (Visa à entrées multiples) has become an increasingly popular option among Moroccans seeking greater freedom of movement, especially to the Schengen Area, North America, and Asia.
This type of visa is granted to applicants who meet specific criteria, most notably having a clean travel history and recurring travel purposes such as attending conferences, business missions, or regular family visits.
According to recent data from the European Commission, the number of Moroccans obtaining multiple-entry visas has doubled over the past five years, particularly among businesspeople, students, and researchers.
What is a Multiple-Entry Visa?
A multiple-entry visa allows its holder to enter the same country—or group of countries (such as the Schengen Area)—multiple times during the validity period without needing to reapply each time. Its validity usually ranges from six months to five years, with short-term stays allowed (typically 90 days within any 180-day period in the EU).
Who Can Benefit?
According to diplomatic sources, issuance of this visa type is based on:
- Respecting previous visas without overstays or legal violations
- Ability to prove a recurring need for travel (work, study, family visits)
- Financial stability and guarantees of return to the home country
- A well-prepared and complete visa application file
Official Statement
In a statement to Fes News, a European consular official in Rabat said, “The multiple-entry visa has become a practical tool to ease travel for trusted individuals and reflects mutual trust between the applicant and the host country,” adding that “Morocco is among the countries with growing demand for this type of visa.”
Tips for Applicants:
- Prepare a strong and professional application file
- Document previous trips and compliance with visa rules
- Request a longer validity period only if justified (e.g., one year instead of five for first-time applicants)
- Submit invitations or bookings that support your intention for frequent travel
Multiple-entry visas are no longer reserved for the elite—they are now accessible to anyone who demonstrates seriousness and commitment. They represent an opportunity for Moroccans to open up to the world and enhance their participation in the global economy, culture, and education.
