Can I extend my Business Visa once I'm in Morocco?

What happens if my application is denied?
Refusals are issued in writing with a reason. Strengthen the weak point and submit a fresh application, or use the formal appeal channel; the original fee is not refunded.
Do I need travel insurance?
Most Morocco Business Visa applications require proof of travel medical insurance with adequate coverage for the duration of your stay.
Can I work on a Business Visa?
Business visas allow meetings, conferences, and negotiations, but not direct employment with a Morocco entity. For employment, apply for a work visa.
What is the difference between work visa and business visa?
Business visas are for short-term visits (meetings, trade fairs, contract signing) and don't allow paid employment. Work visas are for employed positions on a contract, longer-term.
Do I need an invitation letter from a Morocco company?
Usually yes. Official letter on host company letterhead specifying visit purpose, duration, and sponsor, attached to your application.

Typically 30-90 days per visit. The visa may be single-entry or multi-entry with 6-month to 5-year validity.
