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 90-day visa-free period costs 100 MAD per day (about $10), 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. A one-way ticket without proof of onward travel can result in denied entry. | 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 (about $50) per day of your stay, either in cash, credit card, or bank statement. Immigration rarely checks this for Greek passport holders, but it's wise to have proof ready. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Moroccan immigration requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. Airlines also check this before boarding. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before you book anything.
Overstaying is costly
The 90-day visa-free period cannot be extended. Overstaying even by a day can result in a fine of 200-300 MAD per day and a re-entry ban. Set a reminder to leave on time.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents
Before you leave, check your passport validity (6+ months), print or save your return ticket, accommodation booking, and travel insurance. Also arrange a local SIM or eSIM so you have data on arrival.
2
Arrive at Moroccan immigration
At the airport (Casablanca, Marrakech, etc.), join the foreign passport queue. Hand over your passport and any requested documents. The officer will stamp your passport — this is your entry record. Keep the stamp visible.
3
Collect your luggage and exit
After immigration, collect your bags from the carousel and proceed through customs. There is usually no customs declaration for personal items. You're now free to enter Morocco.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay cannot be extended. You must leave Morocco before 90 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban. If you need to stay longer, apply for a residence permit at the local police station before your 90 days expire.
If you are transiting through a Moroccan airport and do not leave the international transit area, you do not need a visa. However, if you plan to leave the airport (even for a few hours), you must enter visa-free as a tourist — which is allowed for Greek passport holders.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Moroccan immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. The 6-month validity is strictly enforced.
It is not a formal requirement for Greek passport holders, but immigration officers may ask how you plan to support yourself. Having a credit card or a few hundred euros in cash is a good idea.
The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, and family visits. Remote work is technically not allowed, but in practice it is rarely checked. If you plan to work for a Moroccan company, you need a work visa.
Overstaying can lead to a fine of around 200-300 MAD per day, and you may be banned from re-entering Morocco for up to 1 year. Always leave on time.
No mandatory vaccinations for Greek passport holders. However, routine vaccines (hepatitis A, typhoid) are recommended. Check with your doctor 4-6 weeks before travel.
