Israel Visa for Moroccans: How to get it without rejection

If you're a Moroccan citizen planning a holiday or business trip to Israel, getting the Israel Visa (B2 Visa) is the first step.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the Israel Visa application process, requirements, and offer expert tips for Moroccan travelers to avoid rejection.

How difficult Is It to get an Israel Visa as a Moroccan in 2025?

Getting an Israel Visa as a Moroccan is not as straightforward as it is for some other nationalities. Moroccans can't apply for an ETA-IL or eVisa, so they must apply for a visa in person.

Since Israel does not have an embassy or consulate in Morocco (although talks are underway to open one in the near future), you cannot apply from within the country.

Instead, you’ll need to apply from a third country where Israel has diplomatic offices that process visas for Moroccans.

This means you’ll likely need to:

• Travel to a country where you can apply
• Submit your application in person at an Israeli embassy or consulate there
• Possibly return to that country to collect your visa if it's approved

Because of this extra step, it’s important to plan ahead, as this process will take more time and cost more than a standard visa application.

👉 Tip from recent applicants (via Reddit):

“Applying from France or Turkey is a possibility, but make sure you meet the visa requirements for that country too.”

How to apply for an Israel Visa as a Moroccan citizen

The application process for Moroccans is handled only through an Israeli embassy or consulate.

There’s no online visa application system yet, so you must submit your documents in person. You can't post your application and documents.

Step-by-step application process

1️⃣ Gather all required documents (double-check embassy guidelines for updates).

2️⃣ Fill out the visa application, make sure all your details are spelled correctly and match your passport.

3️⃣ Book an appointment at the Israeli embassy (if required). Submit your application in person.

4️⃣ Attend an interview if requested. Then, wait for processing (this can take anywhere from two to six weeks).

Some countries do not recognize Israel as a separate state, so the visa is issued as a separate piece of paper to avoid issues with passport stamps, for future travel.

Here's a general checklist of what you'll need to apply for the Israel Visa.

Additionally, we recommend including the following, even if not explicitly listed.

💡Femke Strietman, iVisa travel expert, advises:

“Some applicants think booking an expensive hotel will boost their chances, but the embassy actually prefers realistic plans. If you’re on a budget, choose accommodations that match your financial documents.”

Is it possible to travel to Israel right now as a Moroccan citizen?

Yes, Moroccan citizens can visit Israel, but there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Political climate: Israel and Morocco restored diplomatic ties in 2020. However, regional tensions can still affect travel.

• Religious considerations: While Israel welcomes visitors of all faiths, Muslim travelers might face longer security screenings. If you're visiting religious sites, such as Al-Aqsa Mosque, there may be additional procedures in place.

• Traveling with an Israeli visa: If you plan to visit other Arab countries later, be aware that some countries don’t allow entry if your passport has an Israeli stamp. However, Israel now issues visas on separate papers instead of stamping passports.

👉 Traveler tip:

“At immigration, they asked me why I wanted to visit Israel. I mentioned religious and historical tourism, and that was enough. Keep it simple.” – Amina, Moroccan tourist

• Safety considerations: Tourist areas like Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa are generally safe. However, always check official travel advisories before your trip.

• Entry rules: Security checks are strict at airports, hotels, and public places. Some areas, like the West Bank, have additional restrictions. If you plan to visit, check entry requirements.

💡Michael Angelo from The Project Kosmos shares his experience:

"I was questioned for almost 4 hours at immigration since I’m a filmmaker traveling the world. It was intense, but once done, the rest of the process was smooth."

Check all entry rules for Israel in 2025 and make sure you're fully prepared.
