Entry requirements

RequirementDetailsStatus
Valid passport
Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned departure date from Morocco
Your passport needs at least two blank pages for entry and exit stamps. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires within 6 months, you will be denied boarding. Overstaying your 90-day visa-free period costs 100 MAD per day (about $10 USD), payable 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. A printed copy or a screenshot on your phone works. If you are flying to another country, make sure the ticket is within the 90-day visa-free window.Recommended
Proof of accommodation
Hotel booking or host invitation
Have your first night's hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. Immigration rarely asks for it, but if you arrive without a clear address, they may question your plans. A simple booking.com confirmation printed or on your phone is fine.Recommended
Proof of funds
Show you can support yourself during your stay
Carry at least $500 USD or equivalent in cash, or have a credit card with a visible balance. Morocco is a cash-heavy country — many riads and small shops do not accept cards. Immigration may ask to see cash if you look like you are working illegally.Recommended
Passport validity is strict
Airlines check your passport validity before boarding. If you have less than 6 months left, you'll be denied boarding — no exceptions. Renew your passport first.
No visa, no fee, no fuss
Turkish passport holders get 90 days visa-free in Morocco. No application, no payment, no appointment. Just a valid passport and a return ticket.
