Applying for a Germany visa from Morocco? Start with the visa type that fits your travel plans, then check the documents and official submission process. Our experienced visa advisers can help you organise your evidence, review your application and prepare for the visa appointment.

Access to Germany requires holding a visa whose nature depends on the purpose of travel and the planned length of stay.

For short stays, the traveller must hold a short-stay Schengen visa unless they benefit from a visa exemption. For any long stay, such as studies, employment or family reunification, a national visa application must be submitted. In some cases, a transit visa may also be required.

  • The short-stay Schengen visa allows third-country nationals subject to the visa requirement to enter Germany for a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period. This visa generally does not allow professional activity.

  • When the stay exceeds 90 days, especially for studies, employment or family reunification, the applicant must apply for a national visa corresponding to the purpose of the stay.

  • For airport transit, foreign travellers making a stopover in Germany before continuing to a destination outside the Schengen area may, under certain conditions, benefit from the transit privilege. In that case, no transit visa is needed. However, an airport transit visa may be required when the traveller must leave the international transit area, particularly to change terminal, or if the final destination is in the Schengen area.

Only five German airports have an international transit area allowing travellers to change aircraft without officially entering the Schengen area. These include Berlin Brandenburg, Frankfurt am Main, Munich, Hamburg and Düsseldorf.

Germany is in the Schengen zone

Germany is part of the Schengen zone, so a visa for Germany can also allow travel across other Schengen countries. Your main destination should still match your application. Processing times, appointment availability and evidence expectations can vary between member states, so check the requirements against your real itinerary.

Application procedure for this visa

Follow the different steps of the procedure in order and check that your application meets the official requirements before submission. If you would like personalised support, our experts can assist you at every stage of your visa application.

5 steps
  1. 1
    Complete the visa application form on VIDEX

    The first step in the visa application is to complete the online form on the VIDEX website, regardless of the type of visa requested, such as tourism, business, medical treatment or family visit. Before starting the form, the applicant must have certain essential information, including the planned travel dates and accommodation details.

  2. 2

    To submit a visa application, the applicant must first create an account on the TLScontact Germany website, then complete a form repeating some information already included in the VIDEX visa application form. The file can be submitted up to six months before the planned travel date.

  3. 3
    Book an appointment on TLScontact

    The appointment booking system is based on a waiting list managed by the external service provider TLScontact. Appointments for Germany visa applications are allocated in chronological order of registration. Because current appointment waiting times are relatively long, it is strongly recommended to register as early as possible so the visa can be obtained before the planned travel date. An email is sent to the applicant when their turn for an appointment is reached. The applicant must then pay the TLScontact service fee within 24 hours. If payment is not made within that time, the appointment is automatically cancelled.

  4. 4
    Submit the file to TLScontact

    On the appointment day, the applicant must appear personally at the TLScontact centre in Rabat to submit the complete visa application file.

  5. 5
    Collect the passport from the TLScontact centre

    When the Germany visa application has been processed, the applicant receives an email and/or SMS notification stating that the passport can be collected from the TLScontact centre. If the applicant is unable to attend, a third party may be authorised to collect the passport from TLScontact, provided the following documents are presented: a signed and legalised power of attorney, the original and a copy of the representative national identity card, a copy of the applicant national identity card, and the visa application summary sheet.
