Vietnamese passport holders can travel to Morocco without a visa for stays of up to 90 days. This visa-free entry applies to tourism, business, and short visits, and you'll get your entry stamp on arrival. Just make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Morocco eVisaYou need to get this visa online before you fly; it is not available on arrival. Apply online before travel | Vietnamese passport holders must obtain an eVisa before traveling to Morocco. The eVisa allows a stay of up to 90 days. Apply through the official Moroccan eVisa portal well in advance of your departure. | Required |
| Passport validityMake sure your passport doesn't expire too soon after your trip. At least 6 months remaining | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Morocco. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesYou need a clean page for the border officer to stamp. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for entry and exit stamps. | Required |

Visa-free doesn't mean no checks
Even though you don't need a visa, Moroccan immigration can still ask for proof of funds, accommodation, and onward travel. Always carry these documents with you — don't leave them in your checked luggage.
Passport validity is non-negotiable
The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced. If your passport expires before that, you'll be turned away at the airport — no exceptions. Check your passport now, not the night before your flight.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before flying
Check your passport validity (6 months) and have your return ticket and hotel booking accessible — either printed or on your phone. No visa application is needed, so you can book flights directly.
2
Arrive at a Moroccan airport or land border
You'll go through immigration at airports like Casablanca (CMN), Marrakech (RAK), or Agadir (AGA). At land borders (e.g., from Spain via ferry to Tangier), the process is similar — just join the 'Foreign Passports' queue.
3
Present your passport and answer questions
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask the purpose of your visit, how long you're staying, and where you'll be staying. Answer briefly and confidently. They'll stamp your passport with an entry stamp — that's your visa-free authorization.
4
Keep your entry stamp safe
Don't lose the stamp — you'll need it when you leave. If you're staying in a hotel, they may ask to see it for registration. On departure, you just show your passport again; no exit form is required.

Frequently asked questions
No, Vietnamese passport holders can enter Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days. This has been in effect for several years and applies to tourism, business, and short visits.
No, the visa-free period is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave Morocco and re-enter (which resets the 90 days) or apply for a residence permit from the local authorities — but that's a separate process and not guaranteed.
You'll be denied entry. Moroccan immigration requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. If it's close, renew your passport before you travel.
It's not always asked, but it's a standard requirement for visa-free entry. Have your return or onward ticket ready — either printed or on your phone — to avoid any issues.
Yes, the visa-free entry applies at all border points, including the ferry from Algeciras or Tarifa to Tangier, and land borders from Mauritania or Algeria. The same 90-day limit applies.
Morocco uses the Moroccan Dirham (MAD). You can exchange money at banks or official exchange offices, but it's a good idea to have some cash (Euros or USD) to exchange on arrival. ATMs are widely available in cities.
No, there's no arrival declaration or online registration for Vietnamese citizens. You just get your entry stamp and you're free to travel. Hotels will register you automatically with the police as part of their legal obligation.
