The rest of the trip for a French passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: Morocco entry requirements.
The details for a French passport.
France Diplomatie (read 11 Oct 2026; page dated 'toujours en vigueur le 14/07/2024') does not state the visa rule explicitly, but gives the 90-day limit for non-resident foreigners, extension of up to 3 more months via the immigration service, a passport valid for the whole stay, and says entry 'n'est plus possible sur la présentation de la seule carte nationale d'identité' (ID card alone no longer accepted). Visa-free status is supported by Wikipedia's Morocco visa-waiver change log and the Feb 2026 baseline; the official consulat.ma list still rejects automated access (11 Oct 2026). Make sure the passport is stamped on entry. Extensions beyond 90 days are made at a police station. Exporting dirhams is illegal; drones are confiscated without prior authorisation.
How long it must be valid.
Carry 6 months' validity. FCDO (reviewed 19 Aug 2026): expiry at least 3 months after arrival. State Dept (Jun 2025): at least 6 months at entry. Canada: 6 months beyond the date you leave. Irish DFA: 6 months from entry. Airlines may apply the stricter rule. German FO (11 Oct 2026): 6 months at entry. Netherlands Worldwide (Jul 2026): valid for the whole stay.
Recent changes in Morocco.
- 2026-08-19 — FCDO review of the Morocco advice. Its entry page now gives a 3-month passport validity rule (State Dept, Canada and the Irish DFA still say 6 months) and a foreign-currency declaration threshold of MAD 100,000.
- 2026-07-20 — Morocco suspended acceptance of visa confirmation letter (VCL) applications for Taiwan (ROC) passport holders; letters issued earlier remain usable within their validity.
