Morocco rules for every passport
Vaccinations, customs limits and penalties are the same for every traveller.
How much money you need to show
Applies to: e-Visa
More than €70 in cash per person per day of stay
The official eVisa portal asks you to carry it for the arrival check. An international bank card counts instead of cash.

Vaccinations
- No mandatory vaccines for entry. The international vaccination certificate is asked of nobody: not the yellow fever one, and not even of travellers arriving from a country with risk of transmission. That is what the country has declared in the International Health Regulations list.
Customs limits
- Cash
- Foreign currency can be brought in with no limit on the amount, but it must be declared to customs on arrival when its value is 100,000 dirhams or more. Below that figure the declaration is optional, and it is worth making if you plan to take the money out again, because on departure a non-resident traveller has to justify the currency being exported with it. Dirham banknotes can only be brought in or taken out up to 2,000 dirhams.
- Alcohol
- No declaration or formality, for the non-resident traveller’s personal use: one 1-litre bottle of wine and one 1-litre bottle of spirits (or another alcoholic drink of the same capacity).
- Tobacco
- No declaration or formality, for the non-resident traveller’s personal consumption: 200 cigarettes, or 100 cigarillos, or 25 cigars, or 250 g of assorted tobacco.
Overstay penalties
Article 42 of Law 02-03 punishes with a fine of 2,000 to 20,000 dirhams and imprisonment of one to six months (or just one of the two penalties) any foreigner who enters or attempts to enter Morocco in breach of Article 3, or who has remained on Moroccan territory beyond the duration authorised by their visa, save for force majeure or excuses recognised as valid. On a repeat offence the penalty is doubled. The administrative authority may also, on grounds of security and public order, expel you to your country of nationality or to another country according to what you yourself state. If you want to extend your stay in time, the route is to request authorisation from the Directorate General of National Security before it runs out.
Grounds for refusal
- Being unable to show your means of existence: the border check may cover, beyond documents, your means of support, your reasons for coming to Morocco, and the guarantees of your repatriation.
- Not meeting the documentary obligations of Article 3, or not satisfying the justifications required by immigration law and regulations: the border control authority may refuse entry on that basis.
- Your presence constituting a threat to public order.
- Being subject to a territorial ban or to an expulsion order.
- Worth knowing your rights if you are refused: you may notify, or have someone notify, the person whose home you were going to, your country’s consulate, or a lawyer of your choosing. The refusal decision may be executed ex officio, and meanwhile you may be held in the premises provided for in Article 34.
Travel insurance
Each destination decides whether to require insurance, and some check it at the border. If yours does, make sure the policy covers the whole trip.

Do you need a different visa for Marrakesh, Casablanca, or Rabat?
No. Morocco sets the requirements, so entering through Marrakesh asks for the same as entering through Casablanca or Rabat. If you're arriving overland or through a small border post, check that separately: some countries apply their own rules to specific crossings.
What does change is where you file the application when a visa is needed, and that depends on the country you live in rather than the city you're travelling to.
What draws travellers to Morocco
Morocco combines imperial cities, mountains and desert within manageable distances. Marrakech, the "red city", with its souk and the Jemaa el-Fnaa square, is the most common base; Fez preserves the largest medieval medina in the world and the al-Qarawiyyin university, one of the oldest anywhere. Meknes and Rabat complete the four imperial cities. To the south, the High Atlas is crossed toward the desert: the kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a World Heritage site and film set, and the dunes of Merzouga or Zagora. The Atlantic coast has Essaouira, all wind, surf and art. Morocco has 9 UNESCO World Heritage sites, the most in North Africa alongside Egypt. A week covers Marrakech, a night in the desert and Fez. Spring and autumn are ideal; summer is very hot inland and winter nights are cold in the Atlas.
