Guide last updated October 2, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date.
  • No visa application form needed for stays under 90 days
  • Proof of onward/return ticket
  • Proof of accommodation
  • Proof of sufficient funds (occasionally checked)
  • No biometrics collected for visa-free entry

Visa types

  • No visa is required for tourism or business stays up to 90 days under the US-Morocco visa waiver arrangement.
  • Work Visa - required for employment, sponsored by a Moroccan employer, applied for through Moroccan immigration authorities.
  • Student Visa - required for study programs exceeding 90 days, applied for at a Moroccan consulate (https://www.consulat.ma/).

Entry conditions

  • US citizens may stay up to 90 days visa-free for tourism or business.
  • Paid employment is not permitted without a work visa.
  • Present passport and onward ticket at Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca) or other ports of entry immigration on arrival.
  • Extensions beyond 90 days require a visit to the local prefecture of police for a residence card application, generally for those settling longer-term rather than simple tourist extensions.

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee for the 90-day visa-free entry.
  • No VFS/BLS fees since no advance application is required for short stays.
  • Total cost estimate: USD 0 for entry itself.
  • Residence card (if pursuing longer stays): processing through local prefecture takes approximately 2-4 weeks, with modest administrative fees.

Tips for United States travelers

  • No advance visa application needed; simply ensure your passport validity and onward travel plans are in order.
  • Common issue: travelers overstaying 90 days without registering face fines or complications when departing.
  • No VFS/BLS center is needed for the standard 90-day visa-free entry - processing is handled directly by Moroccan border authorities.
  • Check current US State Department travel advisories for Morocco, generally considered safe with standard precautions.
  • For longer-term stays or official matters, consult the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (https://www.diplomatie.ma/) or nearest consulate.
