Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Morocco | Morocco strictly enforces the 6-month passport validity rule. Airlines check this at check-in and will deny boarding if your passport expires sooner. Overstaying your visa-free period costs 100 MAD per day (about $10 USD), paid at the airport before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Morocco | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at passport control. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready. If you're flying out of Morocco to another country, a confirmed ticket showing departure within 90 days works. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed or digital copy of your hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host. Immigration may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Have access to at least 500 MAD per day (about $50 USD) in cash, credit cards, or bank statements. Immigration rarely checks this for Danish passport holders, but it's smart to have proof ready. | Recommended |

The 90-day visa-free stay is for tourism and business visits (meetings, conferences). Remote work for a foreign employer is generally tolerated, but officially you need a work permit if you're earning income in Morocco. For long-term digital nomad stays, consider a longer-stay visa.
Not usually, but immigration officers can ask. It's wise to have a credit card or cash (around 500 MAD per day) available if questioned. Most tourists are never asked.
