Croatian passport holders can enter Morocco without a visa for tourism or business stays up to 90 days. This visa-free policy applies in 2026. Just show up at the border with your passport. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from your entry date.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Morocco strictly enforces the 6-month passport validity rule. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Overstaying your 90-day visa-free period costs 100 MAD per day (about $10), payable at the airport departure counter. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Morocco | Immigration officers at Casablanca and Marrakech airports routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Budget airlines like Ryanair and EasyJet also check this at check-in. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Customs rarely asks for it, but having a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host speeds things up if questioned. I keep a printed copy of my first night's booking in my passport. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Not routinely checked, but if asked, have a bank statement or credit card showing access to at least 500 MAD per day (roughly $50). A screenshot of your banking app works fine. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. Airlines check this before boarding. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be turned away at the gate.
No visa, but have your documents ready
Even though you don't need a visa, immigration officers may ask for your return ticket and accommodation details. Keep them handy on your phone or printed.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents
Before you travel, gather your passport (valid 6+ months), return ticket, and first night's accommodation confirmation. Save digital copies on your phone and print backups.
2
Arrive at Moroccan immigration
At the airport (Casablanca, Marrakech, etc.), follow signs to 'Passport Control' or 'Étrangers'. Join the queue for non-Moroccans. Have your passport and boarding pass ready.
3
Present your passport and answer questions
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask: 'How long are you staying?', 'Where are you staying?', 'What's the purpose of your visit?' Answer briefly and honestly. They'll stamp your passport and you're in.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. Unless you're carrying restricted goods, you'll walk straight through the green channel.

Frequently asked questions
No, the 90-day visa-free stay is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you must apply for a residence permit or leave and re-enter after a period outside Morocco. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
If you're staying airside and not passing through immigration, you don't need a visa. But if you plan to leave the airport or have a layover longer than 12 hours, you'll need to enter Morocco visa-free (as a Croatian) — just have your onward ticket ready.
You'll likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at the border. Renew your passport before traveling. The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced.
No, there's no official requirement to show proof of funds for Croatian passport holders. However, if you look like you might be working illegally or overstaying, an officer could ask. Having a credit card and some cash (euros or dirhams) is always smart.
Technically, the visa-free entry is for tourism and business (meetings, conferences). Remote work for a foreign employer is in a grey area. Many digital nomads do it, but if asked, say you're a tourist. Morocco doesn't have a specific digital nomad visa yet.
No mandatory vaccinations for Croatian travelers. Routine vaccines (MMR, DTP) are recommended. Hepatitis A and typhoid are advised if you're eating street food or staying in rural areas. No yellow fever certificate is required unless you're arriving from an endemic country.
The local currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD). You can exchange euros or US dollars at banks, exchange offices, or ATMs. ATMs are widely available in cities. It's a good idea to have some cash for taxis and small purchases. Credit cards are accepted at hotels and larger restaurants.
