Peruvian passport holders can enter Morocco without a visa for stays up to 90 days. This visa-free arrangement works for tourism, business, or family visits. As of 2026, your passport must have at least 6 months of validity left from your entry date.
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. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at passport control. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they may refuse entry without one. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel reservation confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host. Officers occasionally ask for this, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient cash or card | Have a credit card or around 500 MAD in cash per day of stay. Immigration rarely checks this for short visits, but they can ask. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity at check-in. If it's less than 6 months from your entry date, you will be denied boarding. No exceptions. Renew your passport before booking.
Overstay fines add up fast
Overstaying even one day costs 200 MAD (~$20 USD) per day, capped at 10,000 MAD (~$1,000 USD). Pay at the airport immigration office before departure. Avoid overstaying — it can also complicate future visa applications.
No visa needed for 90 days
Peruvian passport holders can enter Morocco visa-free for tourism, business, or family visits. No application, no fee. Just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare documents before travel
Check your passport validity — at least 6 months from entry date. Print or save your return ticket, hotel booking, and travel insurance. Get a local SIM or eSIM (like Airalo) so you have data immediately on arrival.
2
Arrive at Moroccan airport
You'll land at Mohammed V International (Casablanca), Marrakech, Fes, or Tangier. Follow signs to 'Passport Control' (Passeport). Queues can be 20–60 minutes depending on the time of day.
3
Present documents at immigration
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation. Answer clearly — tourism, business, or visiting family. They'll stamp your passport with a 90-day entry. No fee.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. Green channel for nothing to declare. Red channel for goods over 2,000 MAD or restricted items.
