What Morocco checks.
- Before you go. No Morocco-wide authorization for the visa-exempt nationalities in this dataset (US, CA, UK, IE, AU entry confirmed visa-free for up to 90 days). Non-exempt nationals need a consular visa or the electronic visa on the official portal acces-maroc.ma. Morocco also runs an electronic travel authorisation (AEVM), reportedly used for some African nationalities; none of our 33 passports appear in the secondary-source AEVM list (unverified).
- Your passport. 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.
- Travel insurance. Not an entry requirement per FCDO, State Dept, Canada or Smartraveller; NZ SafeTravel strongly recommends insurance incl. medical evacuation.
- Also. Make sure your passport is stamped on entry; some travellers without an entry stamp have had trouble leaving (FCDO, Smartraveller).
- Also. To stay over 90 days, apply for an extension at the foreigners' section of a local police station at least 15 days before the limit (Canada). Overstayers must see a prosecutor or judge and pay a fine before leaving (State Dept, Canada) and may face deportation or a re-entry ban (Smartraveller).

Recent and coming 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.
How to spot a copycat visa site.
- Check the address. Morocco’s official link on this page goes to acces-maroc.ma. Look-alike sites use similar names and flags.
- Compare the fee. If the price is far above the government fee, you’re paying a private service. It should say so plainly.
- Ignore “fast-track” upsells. Nobody outside the government can speed up or promise a decision.
