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. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Overstaying your visa-free period costs 100 MAD per day (about $10), paid 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 flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. Without one, you may be questioned or denied entry. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Carry a hotel booking confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host. Officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a reservation. A simple printout or a screenshot on your phone works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Have a bank statement or credit card showing you can cover your stay. There is no fixed minimum amount, but showing at least $50 per day is a safe bet. Officers rarely ask, but it helps if you look under-prepared. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you won't be allowed to fly. Renew early.
Keep a copy of your return ticket
Moroccan immigration may ask for proof of onward travel. A screenshot on your phone is fine — just make sure it's easy to find.

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 (e.g., to Spain or Portugal) and re-enter after a short absence. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
If you're transiting through a Moroccan airport and staying airside (not passing through immigration), you don't need a visa. But if you plan to leave the airport, you'll need to enter visa-free — same rules apply.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Moroccan immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. There are no exceptions for Polish citizens.
Not usually. Moroccan immigration rarely asks for bank statements or cash for Polish tourists. But if you're staying a long time or look like you might work, they could ask. Having a credit card and some cash (Euros or Dirhams) is smart.
Yes. Ferries run from Algeciras, Tarifa, and Malaga to Tangier and Ceuta. The same visa-free rules apply — no visa needed for Polish passport holders. Just have your passport and return ticket ready at the port.
No. There is no arrival declaration form for Polish passport holders entering Morocco. Just your passport and a quick chat with the immigration officer.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You may be fined (around 200–300 MAD per day over) and could be banned from re-entering Morocco for up to a year. Always leave on time.
