Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport 6 months validity required | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Morocco. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Overstaying your visa-free period costs 100 MAD per day (about $10 USD), paid at the airport before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Recommended | Immigration officers at Casablanca and Marrakech airports routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. Airlines may also request this at check-in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Hotel booking confirmations or a letter of invitation from a host in Morocco can speed up the immigration process. Officers occasionally ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Carry a credit card or cash equivalent to at least 500 MAD per day of your stay. Immigration rarely asks for proof, but having it available avoids delays if questioned. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Morocco, not from when you leave. If your passport expires in 5 months, you'll be turned away.
Overstaying is not forgiven
The 90-day visa-free period is strict. Overstay even by a day and you risk a fine (300-600 MAD) and a possible entry ban. Set a reminder to leave before day 90.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave before day 90. Overstaying can result in fines (300-600 MAD) or a ban. If you need to stay longer, apply for a visa before traveling.
No, there is no official requirement to show bank statements or cash. However, if asked, having a credit card or some cash (Moroccan Dirham or Euros) helps. It's rare for Argentine passport holders to be questioned.
You'll likely be denied boarding by the airline. Airlines check this before you fly. Renew your passport first. No exceptions at immigration.
Technically yes, but you'll need to show proof of onward travel (like a bus or ferry ticket out) or a return flight. Airlines may refuse boarding without a return ticket. Best to have a return booked.
No mandatory vaccinations for entry. Routine vaccines (hepatitis A, typhoid) are recommended but not required. No yellow fever certificate needed unless you're arriving from an endemic country.
Morocco uses the Dirham (MAD). You can exchange at banks or ATMs at the airport. Credit cards are accepted in hotels and big restaurants, but cash is king in markets and taxis. Bring Euros or USD to exchange.
The visa-free stay is for tourism only. Working remotely for a foreign employer is a gray area — technically you need a work permit. In practice, digital nomads do it, but be discreet. Morocco doesn't have a specific digital nomad visa yet.
