Italian Consulate General in Casablanca

The consulate's visa section processes Schengen visa applications for the overwhelming majority of Morocco, handling submissions from residents of Casablanca, Tangier, Marrakech, Fez, Agadir, and nearly all other Moroccan cities outside the limited Rabat embassy jurisdiction. Operating with dedicated phone hours Monday through Thursday from 13:30 to 15:30, the visa office guides applicants through requirements for Italian tourist visas (for visitors exploring Rome, Venice, Florence, the Amalfi Coast, and Italy's artistic heritage), business visas for commercial travel to Milan, Bologna, and Italy's industrial centers, family visit visas, and other Schengen categories. The consulate emphasizes email communication for inquiries, requiring applicants to attach identification documents to ensure privacy compliance in correspondence.

Casablanca anchors Morocco's commercial economy, hosting the country's largest port, principal financial district, major industrial zones, and headquarters for numerous international corporations including significant Italian business presence. Italian companies operate across Casablanca's diverse economic sectors—from manufacturing facilities in industrial parks to service sector operations in the city's modern business centers—while Italy maintains robust trade relations with Morocco spanning automotive parts, machinery, textiles, agricultural equipment, and consumer goods. The consulate supports Italian commercial interests across Morocco's economic landscape, facilitating business connections and providing market intelligence for Italian firms.

Cultural ties between Italy and Morocco flourish across Morocco's cities, with the consulate supporting Italian cultural programs, language instruction, student exchanges, and cultural events that celebrate Mediterranean connections and historical links between the two nations. Educational cooperation includes scholarship programs for Moroccan students pursuing studies in Italy, academic partnerships between universities, and cultural initiatives showcasing Italian cinema, art, music, and design across Casablanca and other Moroccan cities.

The consulate strongly recommends email communication for inquiries and service requests, requiring applicants to attach valid identification documents for privacy and security reasons. Telephone lines operate with restricted hours (Monday-Thursday 13:30-15:30) and cannot provide updates on pending applications or disclose personal information by phone.
