Turkish passport holders can enter Morocco without a visa for stays up to 90 days. This policy remains unchanged in 2026. Just bring a valid passport and a return ticket.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
