Visa Extension via Police station ?

Post new topic

Howcanihelp

Hey, one of our family members needs to renew their visa but we are hoping to avoid taking the run to Ceuta as the other 3 of us have already renewed. I heard the police sometime grant an extension. does anyone know how this works ? One of our family members is a Moroccan citizen and we own a flat in Marrakech. Any suggestions ?

Hi there.


I have heard in the past of such thing, but never seen it done in reality.


You can overstay on your visa but you will have to go to police station/court/and pay a fine. Generally around 500 or 1000dh.

That's what I do every time.



Plan on entre day for the whole process.


You will not pass the passport control at the airport if you don't do so.




You can also go to Tenerife from agadir fir a day or two for about 50 euros or less round trip.


Happy happy day to you ...

Hello,


I am a British citizen and visited Morocco for more than 90 days. I had my flight yesterday and the police officers didn’t allow me to pay my  fee at the airport and told me to go to the immigration office to pay there. I went and the guy wasn’t really helpful and he told me to come back on Monday but I am afraid that they won’t help again. I have stayed in multiple cities in Morocco, does this count where I pay for my fee? Or can it be done anywhere?


Thank you!

Hi, how long you overstayed for and how much you had to pay. Did they ask you the valid reason for over stay?

Why go to Tenerife? Just walk across the border into Ceuta, have a coffee, and walk back into Morocco and start a new 90 day visa.

"One of our family members is a Moroccan citizen and we own a flat in Marrakech." How is that relevant?
