Morocco Visa and Entry Rules for U.S. Travelers

Do U.S. Citizens Need a Visa to Travel to Morocco?

U.S. citizens don't require a visa for short stays of up to 90 days in Morocco for tourism or business purposes. Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your date of entry into Morocco.

For stays longer than 90 days or for other types of visits, such as employment or study, U.S. citizens need a visa from a Moroccan consulate.
