Morocco transit Visa question

[Oammujang]

I, a Thailand resident, have a plan to travel from Brazil to Turkey. However, my flight has 1 stopover at Casablanca Mohamed V (CMN airport) in Morocco for 1 hour. 

I was wondering if I have to apply for a transit visa, or I could travel without any visa.

P.S. I just plan to stay in the airport only.

It is not usually necessary to have a visa for any country if you are only 'in transit', That is: not formally entering the country. The only exception that I can recall was Saudi Arabia and that was some years ago.

 

However the Moroccan Embassy is the best place to go for the definitive answer, not this forum.

Of course this forum is the place to ask for an answer, that's what it's here for, some Consulates don't always respond to emails, and somebody might have recent experience.

That said, if the OP wishes to try the Consulate, their email address is [email protected]

Some countries to require a visa to transit their airports, landside or airside, but I don't believe Morocco is one of those countries, but it may depend on the OP's nationality.

According to the information on the following web site. A visa is not required for transit passengers.

However, in line with my earlier advice, I do suggest that you check the facts with the Moroccan Embassy, Theoldgit's advice not withstanding!

 

Good luck with your travels and a safe journey.
