eVisa and Online Application Options

e-Visa Not Available

Morocco does not offer a tourist e-Visa. Visa-required nationals must apply at Moroccan embassies or consulates. A tourism visa (single or double entry) is typically issued for stays of 30–90 days.

Required Documents at Entry

All travelers entering Morocco must meet standard entry requirements regardless of visa status. Immigration officers have authority to deny entry if these requirements are not met, even to visa-free travelers.

Passport Validity

Your passport must be valid for 6 months beyond the intended departure date from Morocco. Airlines and immigration strictly enforce this requirement. Learn more about passport validity rules.

Proof of Funds

You must demonstrate sufficient financial resources to support your stay. Acceptable proof of funds includes bank statements, credit cards, cash, travelers checks, or sponsorship letters.

Onward Travel

Proof of onward travel is required, either a return ticket or a ticket to your next destination. This proves you intend to leave before your authorized stay expires.

Length of Stay Rules

Visa-free visitors receive a 90-day entry stamp. Extensions are rarely granted. Travelers must leave and re-enter to reset the 90-day limit.

Extensions beyond initial authorized stays may be possible but are not guaranteed. Extension applications must be submitted well before your current stay expires and typically require justification, additional documentation, and fees. Overstaying your authorized period results in serious penalties and complications for future travel.

Overstay Penalties

Serious Consequences

Overstaying in Morocco results in fines and potential deportation. Travelers with overstays may be flagged at border control during future visits.

Never overstay your authorized period. Even brief overstays create permanent records that affect all future international travel. If you need to extend your stay, apply for an extension before your current authorization expires.
