Travel Documentation
Visa-free access for many nationalities, clear passport requirements, and an honest guide to what happens at the Moroccan border.
The visa information on this page is accurate as of early 2026 and is provided for general guidance only. Visa regulations change, and requirements may differ based on your specific nationality, travel purpose, and bilateral agreements between Morocco and your country.
Always verify current entry requirements with the official Moroccan Embassy or consulate in your country and your own government's foreign travel advice before booking travel.
90-Day Visa-Free Entry
Many nationalities can visit Morocco for up to 90 days without a visa. The following list covers the most common nationalities -- always verify as agreements can change.
All EU and EEA member countries. Citizens receive 90 days visa-free on arrival.
US passport holders receive 90 days visa-free. No pre-arrangement required.
UK passport holders receive 90 days visa-free. Valid since before Brexit and unchanged.
Canadian citizens receive 90 days visa-free on arrival.
Australian passport holders receive 90 days visa-free.
Japanese citizens receive 90 days visa-free.
South Korean passport holders receive 90 days visa-free.
Citizens of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman receive visa-free entry.
Including Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and others. Check the current list with the Moroccan Embassy as bilateral agreements evolve.
Even with visa-free status, you may be asked to show proof of a return flight, accommodation booking, and sufficient funds for your stay. Have these documents accessible -- not in your checked luggage.
Advance Application Required
Many African, South Asian, and some Middle Eastern nationalities require a visa in advance. The list of countries requiring prior visa approval changes -- always check directly with the Moroccan Embassy in your country.
Apply well in advance -- ideally 4 to 6 weeks before your planned travel date. Processing times vary by country and demand.
Application Process
Contact the Moroccan Embassy or consulate in your country. Applications are typically submitted in person or by post, though some countries now accept online applications.
Processing time is typically 5 to 15 business days. This varies by country and time of year.
Visa fees vary by nationality and are based on reciprocity agreements. Typical range is 20 to 100 EUR equivalent.
Some nationalities pay no fee. Check with your specific embassy for the exact amount.
Before You Fly
Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure from Morocco. This is strictly enforced -- airlines may deny boarding if your passport does not meet this requirement.
At least 2 blank pages are required for the entry and exit stamps. If your passport is running low on pages, renew it before travel.
Morocco normalized relations with Israel in 2020. Israeli passport stamps no longer disqualify entry to Morocco.
What to Expect
An honest account of what happens at Moroccan immigration -- what they ask, what they check, and what you should have ready.
Purpose of visit (tourism), length of stay, accommodation address, and proof of funds. Have your hotel booking and return ticket accessible -- not buried in your luggage.
Usually stamped for 90 days maximum. You cannot extend a tourist stay by leaving and re-entering the country -- Moroccan authorities are aware of this practice and may refuse re-entry.
Large amounts of cash (over 10,000 EUR equivalent) must be declared. Professional camera equipment may need to be declared at customs.
Drugs of any kind (including cannabis in any form) are strictly prohibited. Certain medications -- particularly those containing pseudoephedrine (common in cold and allergy medications) -- are controlled substances in Morocco. Check before you travel.
Beyond 90 Days
Theoretically possible through the local Bureau des Etrangers (foreigners' office). In practice, the process is complex and rarely approved for tourism purposes. If you need to stay longer than 90 days, plan your trip accordingly or consult with a local immigration attorney.
Working legally in Morocco requires a work visa, sponsored by a Moroccan employer. A tourist visa does not permit any form of employment. The application process is separate from the tourist visa and involves the Ministry of Employment.
Health Documentation
Check current COVID-19 or other health requirements before travel -- these have changed frequently and may be reintroduced. Your government's foreign travel advice page is the most reliable source for current health entry requirements.
No Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is required for entry unless you are arriving from or transiting through a Yellow Fever endemic country.
No other mandatory vaccinations are required for entry. However, consult your doctor about recommended vaccinations for Morocco travel -- Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and ensuring routine vaccinations are up to date is commonly advised.
On the Road
Valid for driving directly in Morocco. An International Driving Permit is recommended to carry alongside your national licence.
Your national driving licence is valid. An International Driving Permit is recommended alongside it.
Check with the Moroccan Embassy in your country. An International Driving Permit may be required.
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not a standalone document -- it must be carried alongside your national driving licence. Obtain it from your national automobile association before travel. It is inexpensive and provides a standardized translation that Moroccan police and car rental companies recognize immediately.
