To live in Korea with your Korean spouse, you need a marriage visa (F-6). The steps are: ① get your marriage recognized in both Korea and Morocco (if you marry in Morocco first, court marriage authorization, then a marriage contract by adouls) ② apostille your Moroccan documents and translate them into Korean (no embassy consular confirmation needed) ③ apply for the visa. K-VISA quotes its fee after reviewing your requirements, and we refund 100% of the fee if the visa is denied due to K-VISA's fault.
In short: get your marriage recognized in both countries → apostille and translate your documents → apply for the marriage visa. If you marry in Morocco first, getting the court's marriage authorization is the step that takes the longest.
If you marry in Morocco first, the marriage must also be reported to Korea within 3 months.

Korean Ministry of Justice F-6 standardsIt looks complicated, but you only need to remember three steps. ① Marriage registration → ② Document certification → ③ Visa application
Morocco is a member of the Apostille Convention, so with just one apostille and no embassy confirmation, documents can be used in other countries.
| 🇰🇷 Korea | 🇲🇦 Morocco | |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum age to marry | 18 for both men and women | 18 for both men and women (exceptions with court authorization) |
| Where to register the marriage | City or district office (시·구청) (the embassy if abroad) | After family court authorization, adouls (notaries) draw up the marriage contract |
| Using foreign documents | Moroccan documents → apostille + translation | Korean documents → apostille + Arabic or French translation |
| Marrying a foreigner | Report by submitting documents | Court marriage authorization is needed first, and religious requirements are also checked |
| If you married in another country | Report to Korea within 3 months | How to register on the Moroccan side is checked separately |
K-VISA's service fee depends on where you are and your documents and requirements, so we quote it after reviewing your requirements. Actual costs such as government fees, translation and apostilles are separate. Consultation and pre-check are free, and we refund 100% of the fee if the visa is denied due to K-VISA's fault.
After your marriage is recognized in both countries, your Korean spouse gets a Visa Issuance Confirmation (사증발급인정서) in Korea, or you apply for the marriage visa (F-6) at the Korean Embassy in Morocco. Once the visa is issued, you enter Korea and complete alien registration (외국인등록).
Your Korean spouse needs a passport, Basic Certificate (기본증명서), Family Relation Certificate (가족관계증명서) and Marriage Relation Certificate (혼인관계증명서) (detailed), income and employment documents, and housing documents. You need a passport, birth certificate and a document confirming single status, and your Moroccan documents need an apostille and a Korean translation. You both also submit a statement of how you met, plus photos and message records.
Either works. If you marry in Morocco first, you go through court marriage authorization and a marriage contract by adouls. If you register in Korea first, how to register on the Moroccan side must be checked separately. We choose the right order for your situation in the pre-check.
The standard changes every year, and even if income is a little short, assets or other means can sometimes make up the difference. We check this first in the pre-check and find a way together.
You just need to show that the two of you can talk in a shared language (such as English or French). We'll tell you which evidence to prepare.
Morocco is not one of the countries whose spouses require the international marriage guidance program. But the standards can change, so we'll double-check this in your consultation.
If you've already registered your marriage, about 5–8 weeks on average. If you're starting from marriage registration, about 3–4 months on average (based on K-VISA's processing time; immigration review time is separate).
If you apply in Morocco, there may be a couple interview at the Korean Embassy in Morocco. We'll prepare sample questions and how to answer them with you in advance.
You can fill in what was missing and apply again. And if the visa is denied due to K-VISA's fault, we refund 100% of the fee.
Check whether the agency is registered as an immigration application agent, whether it can handle Moroccan documents (marriage-related certificates, certification and translation), whether it speaks a language you can communicate in, and whether the fee and its responsibility if the visa is denied are written in the contract. K-VISA is a registered immigration application agent (No. 19-IC-RG-041). We publish 50 approved marriage visa cases (as of October 2026) and have laid out the marriage registration and marriage visa steps country by country for 20 countries, including Morocco. We consult in 6 languages, and we refund 100% of the fee if the visa is denied due to K-VISA's fault.
