Arrival in Marrakech
Welcome desks for the U.S.-Africa Business Summit will be located at the Casablanca and Marrakech airports. Representatives will be available to answer questions related to visas, customs, and basic Summit information.
Summit attendees are responsible for reserving their own transportation to and from the airport to hotels. We encourage you to make arrangements in advance of your arrival if possible.
Visa on Arrival
Summit registrants from countries needing visas who have applied in advance should have secured your visa or requested a Visa on Arrival letter prior to your departure. Those requesting a Visa on Arrival received an official letter from the Government of Morocco which will allow you to board the plane and travel to Morocco where your visa will be processed on arrival.
The Government of Morocco will have a dedicated customs and immigration line, as well as a Command Center at airports in Casablanca and Marrakech.
