General Provisions:
Moroccan regulations governing the entry to Morocco stipulate that any foreigner wishing to travel to Morocco should have a valid passport or any other document recognized by the Moroccan State as a travel document (Law No. ° 02-03, November 11, 2003 regarding foreigners’ entry and stay in Morocco).
- For foreign nationals whose countries are subject to visa, their travel documents must be accompanied by a visa issued by the Moroccan authorities.
- The period of stay in Morocco for tourism is limited to three months for foreigners who are exempted from visa, and to the duration of visa validity for those subjected to it.
- If a foreigner wishes to extend his stay on the Moroccan territory beyond the duration of his visa (or beyond three months if he is visa exempt), he should request authorization from the competent Moroccan authority (General Directorate of National Security) in order to avoid remaining illegally in Morocco.
- Any foreigner wishing to participate in a paid professional activity must request a registration card.
