To obtain a UK visa from Morocco, you must follow the UK government’s Immigration rules. Below is a general guide based on common visa categories (e.g., family, work, or visitor visas), with a focus on family visas (as per Asher & Tomar’s guidance):

  1. Determine the Correct Visa Type

Family Visa (Spouse/Partner): For joining a British citizen or settled person in the UK.

Visitor Visa: Short-term stays (tourism, business).

Work/Skilled Worker Visa: Requires a UK job offer from a licensed sponsor.

  1. Family Visa Process (Sponsorship Route)

If applying to join family in the UK (e.g., spouse, parent):

A. Eligibility Requirements

Sponsor in the UK: Must be a British citizen, settled person, or refugee.

Financial Threshold: Sponsor must meet the minimum income requirement (£29,000 annually as of 2024) or prove sufficient savings.

Accommodation: Proof of adequate housing in the UK.

Genuine Relationship: Evidence of a real marriage/relationship (e.g., marriage certificate, photos, communication records).

B. Application Steps

Prepare Documents:

Valid Moroccan passport.

Proof of relationship (marriage certificate, birth certificates for child dependents).

Sponsor’s financial documents (payslips, bank statements).

English language test (CEFR A1 level) for spouse visas.

Tuberculosis (TB) test certificate (from a UK-approved clinic in Morocco).

Apply Online: Complete the application on the UK Government website and pay the fee (£1,846 for spouse visa + £1,035 Immigration Health Surcharge).

Biometrics Appointment: Book an appointment at a UK Visa Application Centre (VAC) in Morocco (e.g., Casablanca).

Wait for Decision: Processing times vary (3–12 weeks).

  1. Key Considerations

Visitor Visas: Simpler process but require proof of ties to Morocco (e.g., employment, property) to show intent to return.

Professional Advice: Immigration rules are complex. Firms like Asher & Tomar assist with document checks, financial calculations, and appeals if refused.

  1. Post-Approval

Collect Visa: If approved, your passport will be stamped with a vignette (sticker) for UK entry.

BRP Collection: Pick up your Biometric Residence Permit in the UK within 10 days of arrival.

For tailored guidance, consult Asher & Tomar’s family visa page or the UK Government’s visa portal.
