Visa-free for 90 days
Icelandic passport holders can stay in Morocco for up to 90 days without a visa. This applies to tourism, business meetings, and short visits. The clock starts the day you enter.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter Morocco. Airlines check this before boarding, and immigration checks it on arrival. Don't risk it — renew early if needed.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Moroccan immigration
At the airport (e.g., Casablanca CMN, Marrakech RAK, or Agadir AGA), follow signs to 'Passport Control' or 'Étrangers' (Foreigners). Join the queue for non-Moroccan passports.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation address. Answer clearly. They'll stamp your passport with a 90-day entry permit.
3
Collect your luggage and exit
After the stamp, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually no customs declaration for personal items. You're free to enter Morocco.
