Yes, Moroccan citizens require a visa to enter Uzbekistan, and the most efficient option is the official Uzbekistan eVisa. The standard fee is $60 USD, processing takes 2 to 3 business days, and the visa permits a 30-day single-entry stay valid for 90 days. The application is fully online — no embassy visit required.
What Is the Uzbekistan eVisa? — Definition
The Uzbekistan eVisa is an official electronic travel authorisation issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan that allows eligible foreign nationals — including Moroccan passport holders — to enter Uzbekistan for tourism, business, transit, study, or medical purposes without visiting an embassy. The platform was launched on July 15, 2018, as part of Uzbekistan's tourism modernisation programme and now supports more than 75 nationalities. Approval rates exceed 95% for properly completed applications, with the eVisa digitally linked to the applicant's passport for instant border verification.
Do Moroccan Citizens Need a Visa for Uzbekistan?
Yes — Moroccan passport holders need a visa to enter Uzbekistan, regardless of trip duration or purpose. Morocco is not on Uzbekistan's visa-free or visa-on-arrival list, but it is included in the eVisa programme. There is an Embassy of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Rabat, and a Moroccan embassy in Tashkent, but most Moroccan travellers now use the online system to avoid scheduling delays. Given the flight distance from Casablanca to Tashkent of approximately 6,500 km, Moroccan citizens save substantial time and travel cost with the eVisa, which can be filed online in around 15 minutes.
How Much Does the Uzbekistan eVisa Cost for Moroccan Citizens?
The standard tourist eVisa costs $60 USD per applicant. In Moroccan dirham (MAD), this is approximately 600 to 615 MAD depending on the daily exchange rate. The same fee applies to children and adults. Three processing tiers are available: Standard at $60 USD (2–3 business days), Urgent at $90 USD (within 24 hours), and Express at $120 USD (6–8 hours). For frequent business travellers, the multiple-entry eVisa at $80 USD provides 12-month validity. Payment is made online with a Visa or Mastercard issued by any Moroccan bank. Travellers can apply for your Uzbekistan eVisa directly from Casablanca, Rabat, or Marrakech.

How to Apply for Uzbekistan eVisa — Step by Step
- Open the Online Application
Access the official eVisa portal in English or French and select "Morocco" as your nationality. The form takes about 10–15 minutes to complete.
- Enter Your Personal Details
Type your full name exactly as printed on your Moroccan passport in Latin letters, plus date of birth, passport number, expected entry date, and purpose of visit.
- Upload Required Documents
Attach a clear scan of your passport bio-page and a 35×45 mm digital photo on a white background. The system rejects blurry, dark, or oversized files automatically.
- Pay the $60 USD Fee Online
Pay with a Visa or Mastercard supporting international USD payments. Confirm with your Moroccan bank that the international ceiling is enabled.
- Receive Your eVisa by Email
Within 2–3 business days, your approved eVisa arrives by email as a PDF. Print at least two colour copies and keep a digital backup on your phone before flying.
Processing Time & Delivery
Standard processing takes 2 to 3 business days, with an approval rate above 95% for complete applications. Urgent processing at $90 USD delivers within 24 hours, while Express service at $120 USD delivers in 6 to 8 hours. Moroccan applicants should account for the 4-hour time difference between Casablanca (UTC+1) and Tashkent (UTC+5) — government reviews happen during Moroccan business hours and approvals usually appear by late afternoon Casablanca time. We recommend applying at least 7 days before departure given Casablanca-to-Tashkent journey times of around 8 hours via Istanbul.
"For Moroccan travellers, the most common cause of last-minute panic is the international payment ceiling on local cards. Verify this with your bank a few days before applying and you'll have your eVisa in hand within 72 hours, no stress." — Youssef El Amrani, Senior Visa Consultant, 2026
