Moroccan passport holders need a Schengen visa to enter Spain. Apply at the Spanish Consulate in Rabat, Casablanca, Tangier, Nador, Tetouan, or Larache, or through BLS International. 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 summer demand from the Moroccan diaspora in Europe can push this to 3 to 4 weeks. Apply at least 6 weeks before your trip during June to August.
Required documents include a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond planned departure with two blank pages, two photos, completed application form, travel insurance covering EUR 30,000, round-trip flight booking, hotel reservations, bank statements from the last 3 months showing sufficient funds (no fixed minimum but EUR 100 per day is a safe benchmark), employment letter, and a cover letter.
