United States to Morocco visa requirements

No. US ordinary passport holders can visit Morocco for tourism without a visa for stays of up to 90 days. Under a long-standing bilateral visa-exemption arrangement, holders of an ordinary United States passport may enter Morocco for tourism, family visits, or transit without a visa and stay for up to 90 days per entry. No prior application, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required. At the border you present a valid US passport with at least six months' validity at the time of entry and at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Moroccan border officers may ask to see a return or onward ticket and proof of accommodation, so these should be ready even though they are not generally listed as formal visa-exemption requirements. Stays beyond 90 days require an extension or residence permit applied for at a local police station before the initial period expires; overstaying can require appearing before a judge and paying a fine before departure. There is no tourist-entry fee for US citizens. This route is unaffected by the EU's Schengen/ETIAS rules, as Morocco is not in the Schengen area.
