Netherlands to Morocco visa requirements

No visa needed. Netherlands passport holders can enter Morocco visa-free for tourism and stay up to 90 days per entry. You just need a passport valid for at least 6 months and proof of onward travel and accommodation. Dutch (Netherlands) ordinary passport holders do not need a visa for short tourist trips to Morocco. As an EU/Schengen national, you receive a visa-free stamp on arrival allowing stays of up to 90 days. Morocco is NOT part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route; the 90-day limit is set unilaterally by Morocco. There is no eVisa, no visa-on-arrival fee, and no electronic travel authorization required for Dutch citizens as of mid-2026. Morocco's AEVM electronic travel authorization was a temporary measure tied to specific African nations during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (ended 25 January 2026) and does not apply to EU/Dutch travelers. At the border, expect to show a passport valid for at least 6 months, a return or onward ticket, and proof of accommodation; officers may occasionally ask for proof of sufficient funds. To stay beyond 90 days you must apply for an extension at a local Bureau des Etrangers (police prefecture) before your stay expires. Note: Moroccan lawmakers have periodically discussed introducing reciprocal visas for Europeans, but no such requirement is in force, so verify before travel.
