Quick answer
Citizens of the UK, EU, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many other countries can enter Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days as tourists — you just need a passport valid for the length of your stay (ideally 6 months). Always double-check your own nationality's rules before travelling, as requirements can change.
The 90-day rule
For most Western tourists, Morocco is straightforward: no visa needed for stays of up to 90 days. You're stamped in on arrival at Marrakech airport, and that's it. Keep your entry stamp and, if asked, be ready to show onward travel and accommodation details, though this is rarely required. Make sure your passport is valid — six months beyond your trip is the safe standard.
Longer stays and exceptions
If you want to stay beyond 90 days, you must apply for an extension at a local police station before your time runs out, or leave and re-enter (rules on this can be strict, so don't rely on a quick border hop). Visa-free entry applies to many but not all nationalities — some do need a visa in advance — so always confirm the current rules for your specific passport with an official source before booking.

Do UK and US citizens need a visa for Morocco?
No — UK, US, EU, Canadian, Australian and many other passport holders can visit Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days as tourists. You just need a valid passport. Always verify current rules for your nationality before you travel.
What do I need to enter Morocco as a tourist?
A passport valid for your stay (six months' validity is the safe standard) and, for visa-exempt nationalities, nothing more for stays under 90 days. You may occasionally be asked for proof of accommodation or onward travel, so have those handy.
Can I extend my stay in Morocco beyond 90 days?
Yes, but you must apply for an extension at a local police station before your 90 days expire, providing reasons and documents. Simply leaving and returning to reset the clock isn't reliable, so plan ahead if you want to stay longer.
