Morocco visa and entry requirements

Morocco grants visa-free entry for tourism, typically up to 90 days, to citizens of a long list of countries — among them the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, all EU/Schengen states, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and many others. You simply arrive, clear immigration and receive an entry stamp.

Always confirm your specific nationality's status before booking, as policies can change. If your country is not on the visa-free list, you may need to apply for a visa or an e-visa in advance.

Have these ready and the entry process is quick, whether you fly straight into Fès–Saïss (FEZ) or connect through Casablanca (CMN) and continue to Fes by train.

• A passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date.
• Proof of onward or return travel (occasionally requested).
• Your accommodation address for the arrival card — your Fes riad's name and medina district is fine.
• An entry stamp — keep it; you'll need the matching exit stamp when you leave.

The standard tourist entry is 90 days. To stay longer you must apply for an extension at a local police station (in Fes, the Préfecture de Police handles this) before your stamp expires, or leave and re-enter — though border officers have discretion, so plan properly rather than relying on a quick exit-and-return.
