The rest of the trip for a Nigerian passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: Morocco entry requirements.
The details for a Nigerian passport.
Visa required (baseline Feb 2026). The Moroccan electronic visa is applied for on the official portal acces-maroc.ma (it renders only with JavaScript, so fee, validity, stay and eligibility could not be read this check). A conditional e-visa route for nationals who hold a valid visa or residence permit (physical sticker or card) from the Schengen area, US, UK, Canada, Australia or Japan is widely reported but not confirmed. Neither status could be confirmed on an official page. Re-checked 11 Oct 2026: consulat.ma, the embassy pages on *.diplomatie.ma (e.g. in.diplomatie.ma/en/e-visa) and acces-maroc.ma still reject automated access or render only with JavaScript, so this cell remains unconfirmed.
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.
