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 strictly at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they may deny entry if you cannot show one. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel reservation confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Morocco. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient cash or card balance | Have at least 500 MAD (~$50 USD) per day of stay available in cash or on a card. Immigration may ask to see proof of funds, especially if you arrive without a return ticket. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry, not departure
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Morocco. If it expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding.
No extension possible
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. You must leave before day 90. Overstaying can lead to fines and future entry bans.
What happens at the border
1
Arrival at Moroccan airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Passport Control' (Passeport). There are separate queues for Moroccan citizens and foreigners. Join the 'Foreigners' line. Have your passport and boarding pass ready.
2
Present documents to officer
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask your purpose of visit, how long you're staying, and where you're staying. Answer briefly and honestly. They'll stamp your passport with the entry date.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually nothing to declare for personal items. Exit into the arrivals hall.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave before day 90. Overstaying can result in fines and future entry bans.
You'll likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at the border. Renew your passport before traveling.
If you're transiting through a Moroccan airport and staying airside (not passing through immigration), no visa is needed. But if you plan to leave the airport, you'll need to meet the same visa-free requirements.
The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, and family visits. Remote work for a foreign employer is generally tolerated, but officially you'd need a work permit. Keep a low profile and don't tell immigration you're working.
Always carry your passport (or a color copy) and a printed copy of your accommodation booking. Police checks are common, especially in tourist areas.
No, there's no arrival declaration or registration required for Colombian citizens. Just the passport stamp at entry.
