【Travel around the world・Morocco】Tangier・Super troublesome visa application

【Tangier・Super troublesome visa application】

In 2019, from the previous country, Spain, to Tanger, Morocco, located in North Africa.

Tangier is an ancient city and seaport in northern Morocco. It is located at the mouth of Tangier Bay in the Strait of Gibraltar. Ships entering and leaving the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean come and go here, and its strategic position is very important. Although the port is a short distance from the city center, it takes about 20 minutes to walk to the city center.

Morocco has many well-known attractions, such as the Sahara Desert, Casablanca and so on. Want to go? Of course I do! However, I have to add the word "but", fantasy is beautiful, and reality is cruel. The arrival time of the cruise ship on this round-the-world trip is 10:30 and the departure time is 20:30. Coupled with the status of interpreting volunteers on board, it is inevitable to assist a lot of small and large matters. On the same day, I was arranged to serve as the master of ceremonies to accompany the Japanese event director to ship the ship. All the passengers who participated in the local travel itinerary were sent out in batches, and when all the passengers disembarked, I only had 3.5 hours of free time left... I can't help but sigh that it was super troublesome to deal with the 3.5-hour visit time. visa matters...

Since this round-the-world itinerary was temporarily decided 20 days before departure, it is very busy to apply for visas of various sizes, among which Morocco visa is the most troublesome!

Applying for a Morocco visa by yourself in Taiwan is free, but it is super troublesome. In addition to sending it to the Moroccan embassy in Japan, there are a lot of documents to prepare, such as downloading the latest version of the Morocco visa application form/passport copy/English Version of overseas travel safety insurance copy / English deposit certificate (100,000) / two 2-inch head photos / entry and exit ticket issuance certificate / photocopy of front and back of ID card / travel plan and reservation confirmation, etc.

The key point is that you must not forget to write the E-mail on the English application form to ensure that you can receive the e-mail, because the Moroccan Embassy in Japan will send the visa to the e-mail by E-mail. The Moroccan embassy in Japan will not answer any questions about the progress after it is sent. If you have not received it 10 days before the departure date, you can call to inquire. As for whether a visa can be obtained, no one can be sure...

So when I prepared a bunch of materials, I was about to leave for Japan, so I simply sent the materials directly to Japan, and then I prayed that I could connect to the Internet on the ship. That's slower than a dial-up Internet speed to download data...

Fortunately, I received the visa letter on the ship, but only 3.5 hours left for the visit! When I got off the ship and walked out of the port alone, the customs officer at the port smiled and told me that I was the last passenger to go out, and I could only reply with a wry smile: "I know"!
