Quick answer: Citizens of the US, UK, Canada, Australia and most EU countries can visit Morocco as tourists without a visa for up to 90 days. You need a passport valid for your whole stay (we recommend at least 6 months of validity and blank pages). Rules can change, so always confirm with the official Moroccan embassy or your government’s travel advice before you fly.
Good news: for most visitors from North America and Europe, entering Morocco is simple. Here are the main Morocco entry requirements and practical tips for arrival. This guide is general information – always check the official sources for your nationality before travelling.
Do I need a visa for Morocco?
Tourists holding passports from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and most European Union countries do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days. Other nationalities may need a visa or an electronic visa (e-Visa) – check with the Moroccan consulate.
Passport validity
Your passport must be valid for the length of your stay. Because airlines and some officials can apply stricter rules, we recommend at least 6 months of validity remaining and at least one blank page for the entry stamp.
Arriving in Morocco
- Have your accommodation address ready – officers may ask where you are staying.
- Keep your return or onward ticket accessible.
- Queues at Marrakech and Casablanca airports can be long in high season; booking a private airport transfer means your driver waits for you.
- Read Marrakech airport to the city for all transport options.
Money and customs
The Moroccan dirham (MAD) is a closed currency, so you normally exchange money or withdraw cash after arriving. ATMs are common in cities. Drones normally require prior authorisation and may be held at customs. More in tipping and money in Morocco.
Health and insurance
No specific vaccinations are usually required for travellers from the US or Europe, but check with your doctor. We strongly recommend travel insurance that covers medical care and cancellations.
