Morocco eVisa Photo Requirements

Prepare a clear, recent and correctly framed photo for your Morocco eVisa application and avoid common upload problems.

Direct answer

What photo is needed for a Morocco eVisa?

Applicants must upload a recent, clear colour photo that shows the whole face from the front. The reference guide recommends a photo taken within the last six months, with natural brightness and a plain white or off-white background.

A compliant photo helps match the application with passport details. A blurry, shadowed, filtered or obstructed image may lead to a request for a replacement and delay the application.

Taking the photograph

Practical tips for a better upload

  • Ask another person to take the photograph rather than using a close selfie.
  • Place the camera at eye level and leave enough space around the head.
  • Use even lighting and avoid shadows across the face or background.
  • Take several photographs and select the sharpest, most natural image.
  • Wear simple clothing that contrasts with the light background; avoid pure white clothing where it blends into the background.
  • Keep distinctive facial features visible. A beard is acceptable when it reflects your current appearance.
  • Religious head coverings may be worn when the face remains clearly visible.

Children and infants

Photo guidance for minors

Only the child should appear in the image. Do not include a parent, guardian, toys, bottles, pacifiers or other objects. Keep the child’s eyes and face visible, and avoid hands or support from another person appearing in the frame.

For a young child, use a safe, uncluttered setup and check the final image carefully before uploading.

Before upload: Open the file at full size and check that the face is sharp, centred, unobstructed and free from glare.

Common mistakes

Why a photo may need to be replaced

Avoid dark rooms, harsh flash, facial shadows, patterned backgrounds, heavy editing, filters, sunglasses, tinted lenses, tilted heads and images where another person is visible. Do not upload a scanned paper photograph or a file that hides the natural appearance of the face.
