🇲🇦Morocco

Typically bring

• Passport with at least six months validity and at least two blank pages
• Approved e‑Visa (printed or electronic copy)
• Return or onward flight itinerary
• Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter)
• Evidence of sufficient funds for the stay (bank statement, cash, or credit card)
• Travel insurance covering medical expenses (recommended)

Watch out for

• Applying too close to your travel date – allow enough time for processing and possible delays.
• Using unofficial third‑party websites that may charge extra fees or provide invalid approvals.
• Forgetting to print or save a copy of the e‑Visa; border officers may ask to see it.
• Overlooking the visa’s validity dates and number of allowed entries (single vs. multiple).
• Not ensuring your passport has enough blank pages for entry/exit stamps.
• Assuming the e‑Visa guarantees entry; final admission is at the discretion of immigration officers.

Good to know

• The local currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD); cash is widely used, but cards are accepted in hotels and larger stores.
• Arabic is the official language; French is commonly spoken in business and tourism, while English is understood in major tourist areas.
• Buy a local SIM card on arrival for affordable data; free Wi‑Fi is available in many hotels, cafes and public areas.
• Morocco is generally safe for tourists, but watch out for pickpocketing in crowded markets and medinas.
• Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites or rural areas, to respect local customs.
• Friday is the weekly day of prayer; some businesses may have reduced hours in the afternoon.
