Morocco is an easy country to enter and a surprisingly easy one to be turned away from. For most visitors there is no visa to apply for, no fee to pay and no form to fill in before departure. What there is instead is a set of conditions on the passport itself, and those are checked properly.
Ninety days, and no visa for most visitors
You can visit Morocco without a visa for up to 90 days for tourism. If you want to stay longer than that, the extension is not applied for online or at a consulate abroad. You request it at a Moroccan police station, inside the country, before the 90 days are up.
Anything other than tourism is a different question. Study, work, residence and long stays all have their own routes, and the Moroccan consulate responsible for where you live is the office that answers them. The consular services portal is the place to start.
Before you fly
The three month rule is measured from the date you arrive, not the date you leave, so a passport that expires four months from now is fine for a two week trip and not fine for a long one.
- A passport with an expiry date at least three months after the day you arrive.
- A passport that is not damaged. Moroccan authorities have denied entry to travelers whose passports were damaged.
- Confirmation from your airline or travel provider that your documents meet the requirements.
- A plan for the return or onward journey, which border officers may ask about.
- If you are arriving by private boat, a recognized port of entry. Entering through any other port is illegal.
What a damaged passport means here
Most countries treat a worn passport as a nuisance. Morocco has refused entry over it, and the FCDO says so directly rather than as a general caution. A water stained page, a lifting laminate on the photo page or a torn cover are the kinds of damage that get a document questioned. If yours is marginal, replace it before you book rather than after you are refused at the airport.
