Visa & Passport
Before travelling to Morocco, it is essential to check the entry requirements for your nationality. For the vast majority of travellers, the formalities are straightforward — provided you attend to a few key points in advance.
Passport: Entry Requirements
A valid passport is mandatory for entry into Morocco. For those travelling on an organised trip, the passport must remain valid for the entire duration of the journey. It is strongly advisable to check your passport's validity well before departure to avoid any issues at check-in or on arrival.
Visa
Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality. Citizens of the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Switzerland, and Australia can generally enter without a visa.
Length of Stay
The maximum duration of a tourist stay is generally 90 days. Any extension must be requested at a local police station before the initial period expires.
