Moroccan passport holders need a Schengen visa to enter France. Apply through TLS Contact, which handles French visa applications in Morocco, with centers in Rabat, Casablanca, Tangier, Marrakech, Fez, Agadir, and Oujda. A short-stay visa (Type C) costs EUR 80 (about MAD 880) and allows up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Processing takes 10 to 15 working days. France processes the highest volume of Moroccan Schengen applications, so appointment slots fill fast during peak periods (May to August, December). Book 4 to 6 weeks ahead.
Required documents include a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond planned Schengen departure with two blank pages, two photos, completed application form, travel insurance covering EUR 30,000, round-trip flight booking, accommodation proof, bank statements from the last 3 months, employment letter or business registration, tax returns, and a cover letter. Family visit applicants need an "attestation d'accueil" from their French host, issued by the local mairie (town hall). Multiple-entry visas valid 1 to 5 years are common for frequent travelers with clean visa histories.
