Moroccan Singer Manal Granted French Visa After Cultural Ministry Intervenes

End of adventures for Manal Benchlikha and her husband. They have finally obtained their visa for France. "I would like to thank the Ministry of Culture for their intervention. Thanks to them, the problem has been solved, and we have had our visas," the interpreter of Niya wrote in an Instagram story.

On Tuesday, the singer had let out a rant in a story on the same social network, stating that she and her husband had been denied a visa for France. "They gave us a paper on which it is written: refusal. The reason is that we did not provide proof that we have sufficient means of subsistence for the duration of the planned stay or means to return to the country of origin or residence," she confided in the video.

But there was a mistake in their file. "Apparently, there was an error in the file..." admits the consulate, adding that it had received apologies from the French embassy. Her wish, she will say, is that Moroccan visa applicants do not face difficulties. "I hope that all these little problems can be resolved once and for all for all Moroccan citizens wishing to obtain a visa to access the Schengen area."
