Omani passport holders can visit Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days. No visa is needed for tourism, business, or family visits — just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket. This policy is in effect for 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport 6 months validity required | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Morocco. Airlines check this at check-in — 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 Recommended | Immigration officers at Casablanca and Marrakech airports routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready. Without one, you risk being questioned and possibly denied entry. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Hotel booking confirmations or a letter of invitation from your host in Morocco satisfy this requirement. Immigration may ask where you are staying — having a printed reservation avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Carry cash (euros or dirhams) or a credit card statement showing you can support yourself during your stay. There is no fixed minimum amount, but having around 500 MAD per day in accessible funds is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Visa-free entry is for 90 days only
You cannot extend your stay beyond 90 days. Overstaying can lead to fines and future entry bans. Plan your exit accordingly.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied travel.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Moroccan immigration
At the airport (Casablanca, Marrakech, Rabat, etc.), join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Have your passport and boarding pass ready. The officer will stamp your passport — no forms to fill.

Present your passport and answer questions
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask: purpose of visit, length of stay, where you're staying. Answer briefly and honestly. They rarely ask for additional documents, but have your return ticket and accommodation info accessible.
3
Receive entry stamp and proceed
The officer stamps your passport with a 90-day visa-free entry. No fee, no photo, no fingerprints for Omanis. Collect your passport and head to baggage claim.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free stay is strictly 90 days and cannot be extended. If you want to stay longer, you must leave Morocco before day 90 and re-enter after a short period (the 'visa run' approach). Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
If you're transiting through a Moroccan airport and staying airside (not passing immigration), no visa is needed. If you plan to leave the airport, you'll need to enter visa-free (same rules apply: passport validity, return ticket).
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Moroccan immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. Some airlines are strict about this rule even if the passport is still valid.
No, there is no official requirement to show bank statements or cash. However, if an officer suspects you cannot support yourself, they may ask. Having a credit card and some cash (euros or dirhams) is sensible.
The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, and family visits only. Remote work for a foreign employer is technically not allowed, but enforcement is rare. For long-term remote work, consider Morocco's digital nomad visa (if available).
No mandatory vaccinations for Omanis. Routine vaccines (MMR, tetanus, etc.) are recommended. Hepatitis A and typhoid are advised for some travelers. Check with your doctor 4-6 weeks before travel.
Yes, Morocco is generally safe for tourists. Petty crime like pickpocketing occurs in crowded areas (markets, medinas). Keep valuables secure, avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas, and follow local laws. Women may experience unwanted attention — dress modestly and use common sense.
