Do I need a visa to Morocco?

Travelers from many countries can visit Morocco without a visa for up to 90 days. Citizens of Australia, New Zealand, USA, UK, EU and Canada, among many others, can enter Morocco without a visa if they have a passport, usually valid for six months, and a return or extended flight ticket (with appropriate documentation). However, some of these countries that do not require a visa must obtain an electronic authorization (AEVM). These countries include Congo, Guinea, and Mali.

If you need a visa, you can apply for a visa electronically or through the nearest Moroccan embassy/consulate/visa center. However, whether you need a visa or not, make sure your passport is stamped when you enter Morocco to avoid problems when you leave the country if your passport does not have an entry stamp.
