Passport validity counts from arrival, not departure
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Morocco. If it expires sooner, you'll be turned away. Check your expiry date now.
Overstaying is costly
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. Overstaying even a day can result in fines and future entry bans. Set a reminder to leave on time.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare documents before travel
Check your passport validity (6+ months from arrival). Book your return/onward ticket and first night accommodation. Print or screenshot confirmations. Get travel insurance if you want.
2
Arrive at Moroccan airport
At Casablanca, Marrakech, or any other airport, follow signs to 'Passport Control' (not EU/EEA lines). Join the queue for 'All Passports' or 'Non-Moroccan'.
3
Present documents to immigration officer
Hand over your passport and any requested documents (return ticket, accommodation). The officer will stamp your passport with a 90-day entry. No visa fee. No forms to fill.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then customs (green channel for nothing to declare). You're in.

You'll be denied boarding by the airline or entry by Moroccan immigration. Renew your passport before travel. No exceptions.
No. There is no arrival declaration form for Cyprus passport holders. Just hand over your passport at immigration.
No. The 90-day visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, or visiting family. For work or study, you need the appropriate visa or permit before you arrive.
Report it immediately to the local police and get a police report. Then contact the Cyprus Embassy in Rabat (or the nearest EU consulate) for an emergency travel document. You'll need that to leave.
