Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Apply for a visa before travel | Mozambique passport holders need a visa to enter Morocco. Apply at the Moroccan embassy or consulate in your country of residence — there is no eVisa option for Mozambique nationals. Processing takes 5–10 working days; submit your passport, photos, flight itinerary, and hotel booking.Check visa requirements | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for 6 months beyond your stay | Morocco strictly enforces the 6-month passport validity rule. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Carry a copy of your passport data page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Morocco | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at passport control. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready. Overstaying your visa costs 100 MAD per day (~$10), paid at the airport before departure. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Morocco. Border officers sometimes ask where you are staying — having a booking ready avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Have a bank statement or cash equivalent to roughly 500 MAD per day (~$50). Officers rarely ask, but if they do, showing a recent statement or a credit card works fine. | Recommended |
No visa on arrival or e-visa
Mozambican passport holders cannot get a visa at the airport or online. You must apply at a Moroccan embassy before you fly. Don't book non-refundable flights until your visa is approved.
