Morocco Entry Requirements for U.S. Citizens (2026)

Do Americans need a visa for Morocco?

No. Morocco grants U.S. passport holders visa-free entry for up to 90 days — one of the easiest African destinations for Americans. No eVisa, no ETA, no arrival card beyond a short landing form on the plane.

Entry checklist

• Passport valid 6+ months recommended — Morocco officially asks only for duration of stay but airlines enforce 6 months
• Return/onward ticket
• Accommodation address for the landing form
• No visa required for ≤90 days

How long can Americans stay in Morocco?

90 days per entry visa-free. Want longer? Options: apply for a residence permit (carte de séjour) at the local police prefecture before day 90 — bring documents and patience — or do the classic exit-and-reenter, though Morocco has cracked down on obvious same-day 'visa runs' to Ceuta/Melilla.

Staying in non-hotel accommodation

If you're not staying in registered accommodation (hotel, riad, licensed Airbnb), Moroccan regulations technically require registration with local police within 48 hours — your host should handle it. Rarely enforced for short tourist stays, but good to know for long stays.

Morocco with kids or a dual itinerary

Family travel is straightforward — kids need their own passports (see passports for minors). Common pairings: Spain via ferry from Tangier (Schengen 90/180 rule applies there), or Portugal — both need ETIAS for onward European travel.
