Moroccan passport holders need a Schengen visa to enter Belgium. Apply at the Belgian Embassy in Rabat or through TLScontact in Casablanca. A short-stay visa (Type C) costs EUR 80 (about MAD 880) and allows up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen zone. Processing takes 10 to 15 working days but can stretch to 4 weeks during peak season (June to August). Belgium is one of the most-visited Schengen countries for Moroccan nationals due to the large Moroccan diaspora.
Required documents include a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond planned departure from the Schengen area with two blank pages, two passport photos, completed application form, travel insurance covering EUR 30,000 minimum, round-trip flight booking, hotel reservations or a host invitation letter (attestation d'accueil from the Belgian commune), bank statements from the last 3 months, and employment documentation. If visiting family, the Belgian host must submit an Annexe 3bis guarantor form at their local commune, which can take 2 to 3 weeks to process.
