Morocco Travel FAQ: Everything First-Time Visitors Want to Know FAQs

Do I need a visa to visit Morocco?

For most travelers, no visa is needed for tourist stays of up to 90 days. This includes citizens of Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, and most other countries. You simply receive a stamp at the airport on arrival. Important: your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates. Always confirm current requirements with your country's foreign affairs office before booking.
