Visa application in Rabat

Embassy, TLScontact, waiting list, fees, scams and what to do after a refusal.

Moroccan citizens need a national visa (D visa) for stays over 90 days and for work. Start on the Embassy page Visa and the Auslandsportal.

Who takes the application

• TLScontact receives the applications. For training (Ausbildung) you first register on the Embassy's free waiting list (three variants); training with prior approval of the immigration authority under § 81a goes directly to TLScontact (Embassy table of 26 February 2026). Study visas: Auslandsportal; doctoral candidates and scholarship holders go directly to TLScontact. Whether a waiting list or a direct TLScontact filing applies to family reunification, § 16d measures and work visas is not confirmed; ask the Embassy. See the route pages.
• TLScontact charges a service fee. Amount not confirmed.
• Role of the Consulate General in Casablanca for visas: not confirmed. Check which mission is competent for your place of residence.
• Current waiting times for appointments: not published in a source we could check. Only family reunification is documented (over one year, see Family).

Fees

• National visa €75; minors €37.50 (§ 46 (2) no. 1 with § 50 (1) AufenthV); no fee for spouses and registered partners of Germans, unmarried minor children of Germans and parents of minor Germans (§ 52 (1) AufenthV).
• Processing times are not guaranteed. Do not book flights or resign from work before you have the visa.

If the visa is refused

• The remonstration was abolished on 1 July 2025.
• The remedy is a lawsuit in German at the Administrative Court of Berlin within 1 month of service (§ 74 VwGO), or 1 year if the instructions on legal remedies are missing (§ 58 (2) VwGO). Court costs apply. Or apply again with a better file.

Employers can use the fast track: Skilled worker. After the visa: After arrival.
