Israeli passport holders need an eVisa to enter Morocco in 2026. The eVisa covers tourism and short business trips, and you must apply online before you travel. Processing can take a few weeks, so plan ahead.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Moroccan eVisa at the official portal linked below. Processing takes 3–5 business days, and you need a digital photo and passport scan. Print the approval email and carry it with your passport — border officers at Casablanca and Marrakech will ask to see it.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport 6 months validity required | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your entry date. Airlines at Ben Gurion enforce this strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Carry a photocopy of the bio page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration at Mohammed V Airport in Casablanca routinely asks for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to a third country. Budget airlines like Ryanair and Wizz Air also check this at check-in. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Hotel booking confirmations or a letter of invitation from a host in Morocco can speed up the immigration process. Officers in Marrakech and Tangier sometimes ask for the first night's address. Have a printed copy or a screenshot ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Carry a bank statement showing at least 500 MAD (~$50) per day of your stay, or a credit card with sufficient limit. Immigration rarely checks this for short visits, but it helps if you look like you are working remotely. | Recommended |
Apply early — no rush option
The eVisa takes 2–4 weeks to process and there's no expedited service. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have the visa in hand.
Keep digital copies of everything
Save your eVisa PDF, flight tickets, and hotel confirmation on your phone. You'll need them at check-in and immigration. A printed backup is also a good idea.
