Visas

British nationals do not require entry visas to Morocco for the purpose of tourism, for visits of up to three months. 

Passport validity

Your passport will need to be valid for at least six months after your entry into Morocco. When entering the country, particularly during the busy summer months, you should ensure that your passports are stamped. You will then be able to stay in Morocco for up to three months. Some tourists have experienced difficulties leaving the country because their passports bear no entry stamp.

Travelling to Western Sahara

 

If you intend to travel to the disputed territories to the South of Morocco, you should consult our separate Travel Advice for Western Sahara.

Border closure

You should also be aware that the border between Algeria and Morocco is closed, and no attempt should be made to cross it at any point.

Travelling with children

Single parents or other adults travelling alone with children should be aware that some countries require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter the country or, in some cases, before permitting the children to leave the country.  For further information on exactly what will be required at immigration please contact the Moroccan Embassy in London.

 

When arriving by private boat, you must enter the country by a recognised port of entry. Entry through other ports will be considered illegal.
