Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|

No visa needed — just show up
Bulgarian passport holders can enter Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days. No application, no fee, no embassy visit. Just make sure your passport is valid for 6+ months and you have a return ticket.
Overstaying is expensive
The 90-day stay is not extendable. If you overstay, expect a fine of 200–300 MAD per day. In some cases, you may be banned from re-entering Morocco.
What happens at the border
1
Arrival at Moroccan airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Passport Control' (Passeport). Join the queue for non-Moroccan nationals. Have your passport and return ticket ready. The officer will stamp your passport — that's it. No forms to fill, no fee to pay.
2
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually nothing to declare unless you're carrying large amounts of cash or restricted goods.
