Worth knowing

The details for an Irish passport.

Irish DFA: Irish citizens do not require a visa; passport should be valid at least 6 months from entry; the Irish passport card is not accepted. Make sure the passport is stamped on entry (FCDO: travellers without an entry stamp have had trouble leaving). Extensions are requested at a Moroccan police station.

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.
