Swedish passport holders can enter Morocco without a visa for stays up to 90 days. This has been the case for years and remains unchanged in 2026. Just show up with a valid passport and you're good to go.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 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. Overstaying your 90-day visa-free period costs 100 MAD per day (about $10), paid at the airport departure counter. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Morocco | Immigration officers at Casablanca and Marrakech airports routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready. A flight booking to any destination outside Morocco works — it does not need to be back to Sweden. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number. Immigration rarely asks for it, but if you arrive without a clear place to stay, they may question your plans. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have a bank statement or credit card showing available funds. There is no fixed minimum amount, but around 500 MAD ($50) per day is a safe benchmark. Immigration officers rarely check this for Swedish passport holders, but it helps to have it ready. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check this before you board. If your passport has less than 6 months validity, you won't be allowed to fly. Check your expiry date now.
No visa, no forms, no fees
Swedish passport holders get a free 90-day tourist stamp on arrival. No application, no payment, no paperwork needed.
What happens at the border
1
Arrival at Moroccan airport
You'll go through passport control. Have your passport and return ticket ready. The officer will stamp you in — usually takes 1-2 minutes. No forms to fill.
2
Baggage claim and customs
After passport control, collect your bags. Customs is usually green channel — you walk straight through unless you have something to declare.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you must leave the country and re-enter after a short absence. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
No. There is no online arrival declaration or pre-registration required for Swedish passport holders. Just show up with your passport.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at the border. Renew your passport before traveling.
No, it's not a legal requirement. But it's strongly recommended — medical costs in Morocco can be high, and your Swedish EHIC card does not cover you there.
Technically, no. The visa-free entry is for tourism only. Remote work is a grey area — many digital nomads do it, but officially you'd need a work permit. Keep a low profile and don't tell immigration you're working.
You'll face a fine (around 200-300 MAD per day overstayed) and could be banned from re-entering Morocco for a period. Always leave before day 90.
No. If you're transiting through a Moroccan airport and not leaving the international transit area, you don't need a visa. But if you plan to leave the airport, you'll need to meet the same visa-free entry requirements.
