Morocco visa policy

Morocco has a visa policy that requires citizens of most countries to obtain a visa before entering the country. However, there are several countries whose citizens are exempt from this requirement. These countries are divided into three groups:⁴

• Visa-exempt countries: Citizens of these countries can enter Morocco without a visa for stays of up to 90 days. These countries include the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand.
• Visa-on-arrival countries: Citizens of these countries can obtain a visa upon arrival in Morocco. These countries include China, India, Russia, and Brazil.
• E-visa countries: Citizens of these countries can apply for an e-visa online. This is a new type of visa that was introduced in 2016. The e-visa is valid for stays of up to 90 days and can be obtained for a fee.

Nationals of certain countries can apply for an e-visa if they hold a valid visa or permanent residency documents issued by Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Holders of passports issued by certain countries are allowed to enter and remain in Morocco for up to 90 days without a visa.
